Would be interested in hearing people’s opinions of this one. Does the composition work for you?
I actually like this overall.
I think the vignetting doesnt suit and a more clean sharp picture
would suit the subject.I like the composition with the light casting nice shadows
through the glass which makes you think about the perspective.I would like to see no vignetting and maybe a bit of brighteming
to make a better contrast between the bright concrete and
the blue sky.Nice one
Agree with Alan, the vignette does hold well here. I think this is usually true on an image with blank space on one side
Try the removal and brighten as suggested
DeeThanks for the comments.
Re-work below with vignette removed, brightened a small bit, and white balance a little colder.
I had also been hoping for a more dramatic sky, like I had got just a day before.
Well, since you posted this in Architecture, perhaps a dramatic sky is not required so much-
The angle is a bit whimsical, almost as if you were embarrassed at not being able to find anything interesting in the building-
which doesn’t appear to be the case, judging by the bit I can see.This might be a useful picture for a double page spread for a magazine,
if a designer wanted to superimpose a lot of text,
but again, there is probably not enough of the building showing to convince them to use it.The vignette does look pasted on;
again, making it look like you wanted to create interest later,
having found none earlier-If that was as a result of your lens, then it might be even beyond the help of a centre filter-
I think it’s much better without it-The geometry of the building is very strong, and I’d quite like to see it-
but all of this is, as usual, only my opinion-Having said all that, I do like the shot-
I just might have liked it more if it was telling me more about the architecture-j
Not embarrassed, just going for a different take on it than below. Loads more (too many) in the set if you click through.

I Would disagree with JB’s comment that the angle is whimsical, I like it I think it makes
the viewer think a bit about it, me anyway. of course it is a matter of opinion too.As always JB gives a good in-depth comment on the architecture posts
and the critique is very constructive.I like the shot much better in the second post, cleaner and brighter.
I dont like the converging lines in the last post and they are hard to avoid
without the right hardware. If can leave ample room around the building in the
image a slight correction in PS can help straighten up the lines.It seems a very interesting building and well worth re-visiting another time
when the shadow of the other building to the right is not on the facade. and just
to clean up the image by removing the bollard.Nice work though
