Chequered Building

I wonder if b/w would suit this ?
The sky is a good one but here seems to draw attention away from the building.
Just a thought.
Maybe slightly cropping it slightly might work, and seeing what it looks like in b&w, purely as a comparison to see how different it looks. Maybe an increase in contrast in b&w, but that depends on what you want from the photo yourself.
I saw this building going up, but haven’t been up close-
I think it has too much contrast-
it is a facade only- I know the sub headline states that,
but was wondering if there was something on the side of the building you were trying to hide…It does look like it has great potential-
Thanks for showing us, the lit side looks great-

Thanks Joseph for those comments. Actually no I wasn’t hiding anything on the side; I produced a few versions with different contrast levels, but opted for the more contrast.

Good suggestion – I hadn’t considered b/w – will give it a try!

I opted for more contrast, having experimented with different levels. I will try the b/w option for comparison as you suggest.
Hi Eugene, the strong light really accentuates the design really well. A very striking shot of a very unusual
building. I am sure that there are several “finishes” that would look equally well – agree that the B&W with
slightly less contrast may be best.Great shooting!

Thanks Ken for your comments on the pic. Yes I tried several different “recipes” all of which give a different impression; I hadn’t considered b/w, and will try that when I get time!

EugeneYes, I prefer the b/w.
I was going to check it against the original, but I see it too has changed to b/w. :?Pixelle wrote:

EugeneThat’s quick. Thanks.
Yes, the b/w look means less distraction The building is very strong and is better viewed without the distracting colour of the original background.
I think it looks better in b&w. Did you use digital or film camera to take this?

I used Canon DSLR 1000D for this shot.
PP with DPP.
