taken at one of the few vantage points I could think of in Birmingham as the light was starting to go. With the Armadillo (Selfridges ;) to the left for a little intrest.

levels adjusted to make it slightly more shiletted, neat image used to get rid of a mite of noise.

I love the composition of this shot, but I wish there was a little more light on the distant buildings. Of course, then you'd have lost those wonderful clouds. I guess perfection just doesn't exist in nature.

I absolutely love the colors in this picture and the darkness of the city its like a scene from a movie or something, And the building to the left looks great there Great picture! - 10

I like the contrast on the buildings. Makes it look like a futuristic urban landscape from a movie. The hues of colors you have in the sky incredible. Love the fluffy clouds. The rounded structure has a great curvy shape and helps to lead your eyes to the background. Excellent shot. "10"

Incredible architecture. The colors of the sky and clouds are captivating. 9

Wonderful colors in the sky, wish the buildings were a little more noticeable.

Nice viewpoint and composition. Sky looks great but your levels look a bit too dense in the dark areas where detail has been lost. However, given the subject I think you get away with it (Sean?). Very crisp focus all the way from foreground to horizon. Nice elevation too. [8]

Good colors, I like the detail of the building on the left. Great sky.

The cityscape is too dark to make out much of what's going on down there. NIce composition of the shot, though, especially the building on the left and the huge sky.

Absolutely amazing sky and the curved building looks great against it, but the buildings below are simply too dark. I wonder whether a different angle which cropped out the buildings below but retained that sky would be stronger? Just wondering, so very possibly not!

Looks like a kind of futuristic building. The stormy skies and color tones really do it for this image (9)

Very interesting composition. I looks sharp, but the the darks are lost which is too bad, as this could have been amazing shot with more detail in it. The sky is very dramatic which ads mystery to the object on the left. I will come back to check where this is.

Ah!!! teh new Selfridges building you lucky person ahving such as interesting structure to include. A pity PP for the challenge will not let you bring out any detail in the lower shadow area.

A green sky, don't think I've ever seen a sky so green! Cool! I'm guessing the bullring is the building on the left? A beautiful building no doubt but seems to overpower the rest of the shot. And the rest of the shot seems too dark in contrast to the left side, the end of the day but if it could have been more focused and possibly a bit brighter I could have scored much higher on this one.

I like it!

A feast! Interesting architecture and interesting sky. All the dark buildings don't add much but it's a nice picture.
10/08/2003 09:42:44 PM

10/08/2003 06:46:20 PM
framing is bad picture good 9 witout frame
10/08/2003 06:06:20 PM
Too dark towards the bottom
10/08/2003 02:46:00 PM
Good shot but the buildings are very dark ! adjusting the levels slightly could have made this even better than it already is...
10/08/2003 12:09:42 PM
love the shape of the building and the color of the sky...great shot
10/08/2003 11:50:08 AM
great sky shot
10/08/2003 10:55:46 AM
Great sky, but I love the sexy curve on the left. Neat, interesting looking shot.
10/08/2003 08:08:53 AM
Way too much sharpening, you can see bad artifacting all along the horizon. Interesting view, but the colours look a bit Photoshopped. 6

Like this photo with the building on the left side but I would have preferred to be able to see the other landscape of the city a little better. However, that is just my personal opinion.
10/08/2003 01:46:29 AM
very pretty colours on the sky and clouds. Bl\uildings below too dark though. 7
10/08/2003 01:39:49 AM
