Thanks Steve. I think the noise was added during post processing as I was pushing the blues and contrasts a little. I was just trying to copy Exertion here! I got a few things right, but he is the king of architectural perspective!

For what it's worth, I gave this one an 8. The reflection is wonderful, and you even got the clouds evenly distributed. I'm sure it wasn't easy to get a perfectly symmetric crop and to get the horizontal lines to be, well, horizontal. It's just a little noisy in the dark blue sections - my camera does that too.

Anyway, I thought it would have done a lot better.

nice idea, but is that really glass?
 05/13/2003 01:09:03 PM
I like how the angle of your photo gives it depth.

nice reflection of the sky, it may have needed to be a little sharper but this works 4

Nice image. I like the value in the image and the way the clouds create contrast. The lines of the windows also create a nice pattern for the image.

awesome reflections. I was sure we'd see tons of these this week but I think this is the first one I've seen. I like the real windows going up the middle. Gives the interest to this pic. Nice work.

Nice image! Wll thought out. Check your cloud formation names... stratocumuli may be more aorrect...

Excellent composition. The blue could be richer but I can tell there probably wasn't enough light for that. - 8

Great clouds/reflections shot ... however, other folks explored the glassness of glass more thoroughly (rather than just one facet of it, as it were), so I had to grade you lower than them.

Very good symmetry. I wish there were more blue and less clouds or more interesting looking clouds but that is out of your control.

Gives a strange three dimensional effect - like the surface of water.

You have the cloud type correct, original piece in this challenge.

Excellent capture of the reflections, and good centering.

nice shot, and perfectly croped

I like the concept, very well framed. Perhaps better with a bight higher contrast and perhaps (am I really saying this??) a bit more saturation.

pretty....like it.

One of the more interesting shots in this challenge, IMO. I'd have rated even higher, if it weren't for the near-clichee use of glass buildings I have seen lately. Apt, dry title.

Cropped very symetrically, sharp clear reflection

Great reflection. Well seen and taken. I like this one.

nice crop, good perspective. It meets the challenge well, but I'm not sure how I'd feel about it if I didn't know the challenge guidelines. Something's just not grabbing me. still a solid 6. nice job.

A bit noisy, but interesting. Try NeatImage (though this mght be a tough image for it.
