hi Rob - your critique club moment.

My first reaction to this is that the dynamic range seems very narrow - no real whites, no real blacks, but then I wondered why I felt that was a problem. I think I'm a bit too used to this kind of image - possibly only because I live very near a major business district in London, and see this stuff all the time - so the distortion of the reflections has little impact; because of that familiarity I was looking for another element - maybe a double reflection, or some detail of texture, or of light to surprise me a little, and not really finding it. The panels between the glass are uniform, almost textureless. The distortion itself is rather middle-ground to me - not completely wierd, nor very slight: just what I would expect, in short.

It's an entirely competent shot technically, of course - as I'd expect from someone who could take that Corne photo - and obviously meets the challenge well enough. It's just a bit ordinary, I think; a bit lifeless - which is what people are after with the colour and contrast comments, I'd guess.

All the best

Ed

Great picture. Love the reflections. Buildings look like they're going to tip over. The composition is good.

Now that's my kind of shot. Like the perspective of the windows and the reflections. I am not happy with the tonality in this, more contrast perhaps? Tje white is a bit gray.

Nice use of reflection and angles.

Very good perspective. The warped reflections in the windows give this image a lot of charachter. I always love these kinds of photos where buildings are reflected like that. I often wonder what the people behind the windows are thinking watching the photogrpaher :-)

In my opinion I would have prefered the color version but I guess you had your reasons to change it to B & W, maybe the color version didn't appeal to you. Good work anyway.
