This photo is nice and sharp and has pleasing detail in the arches. The colours seem natural and warm and the windows don't distract from the centre, in my opinion. I'm assuming that if the windows weren't blown out, the arches would be too dark (unless you use HDR).
I wish it were fully symmetrical (I know that's not an option), but it would take this photo up a notch. I also find myself wondering if there were some way to do a square crop of the photo. The centrepiece, to me, almost seems to demand a square crop, but then it would change the nature of the picture, making it a bit abstract.
I got thinking about the crop, and I tried doing a crop to put the apex on the right (along the line of thirds). I think it makes the photo stronger. Your eye goes immediately to the apex, but then wanders to the 2 windows and back, giving you two points of visual interest. It also increases the symmetry, in an odd way. |
