Comment by Artifacts:
This is an excellent concept. However, the overall low technical quality of the image hurts it more than anything else. Focus is very soft and the colors seem dull. The deep blue spot near the center is a distraction.

There are several things you might try to make this better. One is to take the original picture with the largest f/stop you can. Even if you have to use a tripod it is worth the effort. This will help have better focus. Next, I would work with colors in post for both brighter better colors and more contrast to give the image more visual impact.

Artistically speaking there are two things you might try. One would be to frame or crop the image such that both lower tower legs end exact on each corner. This will level your center triangle better and be better balanced. Another artistic thing you might try is instead of centering tower in the middle of the frame you frame the top of the tower at any of the rule of thirds intersection points. That would give the image a more interesting perspective.

Comment by mycelium:
this is almost a really great photo. only two things are keeping it from being really good to my eye: (1) the lack of focus. it's all too soft. (2) the vanishing point is directly in the center of the frame. moving it to 1/3 on the left or right would help a lot. if these two things were done differently, I'd have scored this quite highly.

Photo should be larger to do well here (I know, you've probably already received this comment a 100 times). Compositionally, this makes a nice abstract. However, I would prefer more contrast and sharpness. Would be interesting to see this in black and white or color-inverted.

Love the perspective and shapes in this one. Wish it had a touch more contrast.

but... where's the triangle?

















That's a joke. :)

Comment by sofapez:
This would be excellant except that I can find no point of focus.

Wow, very impressive! It looks like it could do with a bit of sharpening. Also, cropping some of the right and rotating slightly to the left would make the symmetry work better

I like the way it converges in the center

Comment by narcisa:
Interesting view, but, in my opinion, a little outfocus

great idea, blurry though. Use USM and or check you aperture when shooting.
