I shot this for the Perspective challenge but liked my final entry far more. In fact, i would say that my Perspective entry is my best of Feb and would enter that or one of the other edits or similar shots but it would be too obvious.

I haven't had much time for photography since that shoot so came back to this shot. After a few edits i really started to like it and settled on this soft washed out edit as closest to what i was trying to create. A sense of age and power. I'm very pleased with the result.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

What a striking building/buildings. I think you succeeded in capturing the age and power you mention in your notes! Love the effect given by the Tokina...wide-angle lens are fun, aren't they? :-) Love the extreme pov too.

Centred composition but that seems to be the point here as it was a potential Perspective entry. Lighting is adequate, slightly flat due to what looks like a nice case of murk happening overhead. Still, the curves of the building behind the main structure keep drawing me back to look again and again to see what I may be missing.

Overall a great shot of a very imposing edifice. I have probably already given you my lecture on tripods - basically have it handy if you plan to shoot architecture or studio so you can use it. But we don't always have that luxury, so I forgive you for shooting handheld. This time ;-)

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

I like the composition- you've made the edifice sufficiently imposing, but I also like the way the building is so symmetrical, treats itself well to the centered comp. Nice choice on the vignette too.

I love the perspective. Excellent job on the processing. So symetrical.
