Critique Club Review:

Technical: Focus and depth of field are excellent. Color, saturation, and hue: Color balance appears a bit off. Saturation is done well.

Reaction: The sky is just scary. Looks like something out of the Stephen King movie "The Langoliers". I'm not sure what you were going for here. (Though it appears skasuba loves it, so mine isn't the only opinion.) As this is an advanced editing submittal, I would recommend correcting the perspective of the building. Tall structures, when photographed without perspective correction, appear to be falling over, as seen here. You might want to look at cloning out the car also. I think this picture could really pop if done in black and white. I too would like to see a little more picture, to the left looks like it might work best. But then again, no telling what was there for you to work with.

Overall a good photograph with plenty of possibilities.

Interesting building. Composition is dead-center, consider other composition alternatives, including additional buildings in frame. Also consider correcting for perspective with advanced editing.

Nice subject, but the car on the right detracts, and the sky is bland and uninteresting (although there's not much you can do about that).

not a super interesting subject

I think maybe... this is leaning to the right, or at least looks a bit like it? However, lovely colors and great vertical composition.

Too bad the white car was there, it would look so amazing withought it. I hope it's not yours! It has happened to me before :( Good luck with this great picture.

This got a 6 from me. I thought you did a nice job meeting the challenge of HDR. I can detail in shadows and highlights. I'm not fond of the perspective or the tall crop. But thats likely just a personal thing with me. The coloring of the sky is nice. Good luck.

I like the angle of the shot, but the sides of the picture seem so cut off that it distrasts. Nice colors and the brownish sky is interesting
