 Okkkkkkkkkk .. It is where I work, La Cité du commerce électronique Montreal. (CSC) Computer Science Corporate Canada.
I always liked the construction of this building, from inside it is much much better,
It is a rainy day, I was hopping for a better sunny day, but I was afraid if I waited too much I would miss the challenge. Too bad it is a basic editing challenge.
I hope I will score well in this challenge to make up for having to go to my word place in the weekend ;)
If ever passed by there, give me a shout ïŠ

Greetings from the Critique Club -

Why hello again! A better score this time. Still not great but much better to be out of the 4s. Improvement in any form is a good thing.

I think you met the challenge just fine. Architectural symmetry is always a good thing. The composition is just right, near perfect mirror image from left to right. Good lines and a nice angle.

The big problem here is how dark the image is. The rainy day was no help I am sure, but you may have been able to corrct it a bit using more of alevels adjustment to brighten up the whole image and then maybe some selective color tweaks to darken your blacks and turn your sky a brighter blue - all basic legal. Making those tweaks or something along those lines would have given you a brighter more colorful image and most likely a higher score. (Also be careful what you clone in basic - sensor dust is legal, I am not sure if raindrops would be).

Overall a much more pleasing image than the last one I critiqued for you. You are headed in the right direction. Keep on shooting and hopefully I pull your first 6+ image to critique in the very near future. It's gonna happen.

Tim

You've chosen a great subject, but I would like to see it a bit brighter, and with the upper parts of the building in sharp focus, to bring out the symmetry and give it more of a visual impact.

A little dark. A stronger contrast would have worked better. The lines and symmetry a good.
