High and Mighty...The Empire State Building
by charmayne

Comment:
Not sure about the perspective distortion, and you angling of the shot to keep the Empire State vretical at such expense to the other buildings. I think that more compsromise would have been acceptable, but that's difficult to be certain of without trying it. There are also tools to help correct such phenomena, though they can be tricky to use.

And something's gone badly wrong ith the processing somewhere, I feel - or even if it's deliberate, it just looks like a mistake. All those jagged lines, and compression artefacts ... and using just under a third of the available data.

Well exposed, and there's good detail, and a good capture of the light. I find the composition very weak however - so centred, so much negative space, so little else to guide the eye, and all of that with a quite 'ordinary' seeming viewpoint - sure, it could be the most difficult view to get at in the world, but we don't know that. You need, I feel, and especially with such architectural shots, to add some element of difference, or of the spectacular, of of the location. the building is interesting - that doesn't automatically make the photograph interesting.

My first thought here is to wonderr why you shot this from this point fo view: it seems to me thhat it doesn't allow us much sense of the bridge at all. The head-high shot means that the intricacies of tthe 'roof' are squeezed into very little space in your shot, and your angle to the thing means thhat the sides are similarly stuck for space - there's almost more road here than brisge, and yet you haven't given much impression of where it is at all - a bridge over what? How big is that river? How deep is the drop? There's a strong sense of the bright colour of it, and that is well done, and the overall exposure is good - low enough for the colour to pop, but not so as to lose detail. Some experimentation with angles would help I think - even getting down on one knee to shoot can give an image just that bit of difference it needs to stand out. Good luck.

Twice? Don't get it ... strong image, good lines, clean, etc. etc.

Interesting shot - though your yellows might have been saturated a touch too much for me: that sense of partial over-exposure in the brickwork. The noise in the sky is a pity, though I expect in the building areas it's actually helping you.

a International Landmark we all know

This is a vile vile thing to do to anyone - you deserve censure in the extreme. In fact, you ought to be forced to live on the evil stuff for a month, then see if you'd be so keen on putting up a bloody great picture of the damnable logo. You swine.

Rant over, this is in my opinion the best entry I've seen so far - cunning, beautifully composed, startling, different, and even the border works wonderfully. But I still really really really hope it doesn't get onto the front page. Please, no ... please, no ... but I have to give you an 8, and trust that others wont.

Golden Gate Bridge and Sutro Tower

The lines of the cables are fun - the lines of the streetlights are not so much. There's some good feel here, in the steelwork, but I do wish the streetlights weren't quite so intrusive.

Looks to have suffered from rather heavy processing - whether or not in camera is impossible to tell, but to my eye it harms the shot a great deal. I think there might have been a strong sense of serenity, of early evening peace to it - that shade of blue - but it does need that cleanliness of image to go with the clean (and strong) composition.

Providence State House

Classical, neatly organised - filling the negative space with trees is always effective, and makes a useful lead into the top of the dome. Clever composition, and strong sense of plasticity in the dome itself.
