Shot from 20th and Market down towards City Hall. I took this on two successive days and I liked the 2nd days shots because of the cloud reflections on the BlueX building on the left. Post: Perspective correction, one step photo fix in PSP8,USM,layer adjustment for hue and saturation. Very noisy. Ran Image Doctor JPEG repair at a low level. Still noisy so ran it through NeatImage. USM, resize, USM.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Banmorn...

This is an excellent urban architectural photo. I must also add that you did an excellent job with your perspective correction in this photo. Most people don't take that little extra effort and it makes a huge difference in the results :) Reading your notes, I'm also impressed that you shot this scene over a period of two days in an effort to find the best possible time/conditions for the image. This type of effort is often what it takes to make a successful photo. I see tons of images here on DPChallenge that have potential, but just don't succeed because the photographer didn't take the time and effort to make it work as you have here.

This composition just works nicely. The two buildings on the sides nicely frame the architecture of the center building and help bring the viewer right to that point.

Excellent work :)

I am really disappointed in the scoring on this photo. This should have been top 10. This could easily be the cover photo on a travel guide. It had my 10 vote.

I like the way you have divided the image up into thirds.
Also the use of differing shapes in those thirds helps to keep the image interesting. Nicely done.

there is a lot that i admire about this image. i love the geometric qualities of the composition, it's very isometric in appearance which is quite different. colours are pleasantly spread across the shot too, moving from blue to a sany cream with the central buildings comprising both. and the building on the far left is gorgeous - i would be most tempted to get lots of shots of that one. technically, i think this is a wonderful piece. emotionally though it doesn't do all that much for me, but i'm not sure why. it is a very strong, visually appealling shot, but with something missing. no idea what. still - 8.

Great viewpoint and lovely lighting. Subject is detailed and well shot.

Tempted to put simply 'correct' here :-) Absolutely the right use of a detail shot to convey a wider impression. The severe brightness of the central building's windows might have been controlled a litttle better, I think, it just verges too close to burn-out to my eye. Otherwise, a fine shot.

Nice shot...part of me expects to see more at the bottom and wishes it wasn't cut off there...

Good shot, and overall I think it's well composed.

This is my favorite in the competition. Love the colors and the angles. Good one!

A very interesting and unique view of the buildings. A slight rotate to the right would have really helped this I think, as I find myself wanting to tilt my head too much. Nice shot

This is my choice for the best photo in this challenge. If it doesn't score high, we need to have our heads examined. The architecture, combined with the lighting, combined with the reflections of the sky just makes it stand out far and above the other photos. GREAT JOB!
