    A couple of images from last week. I would appreciate your views on them.

    Sail – Detail of a Calatrava building.

    Gone away – a derelict house.

    Number 1 is clearly a play on shapes and textures – just try and count the triangles for a start! Good composition and obviously suited to monotone rather than colour, but lacking overall interest from a personal point of view.

    Second one is a record shot – the vertical lines of the door are clearly not straight but yet the roofline is not too far off?? lol I think the composition suffers from the door being too central? What do you think?

    Thanks for the comments.

    I always have problems with straightening images. I used the horizontal line of the parapet after finding that the side of the window did.nt work for me. The doorway was below the number by the way and the rtoof is not in the shot. I like the first image for its abstractness. It may be the kind of image suited to interior design?

    I see what you mean, I thought it was a bricked up door rather than a window but I see the clues which I obviously missed first time around… :oops:

    I tried straightening it, but there is some perspective distortion so I had to use the transform tool before straightening as best I could.

    I think you’re right about the first image, it is kinda abstract.
    Its maybe more abstract than architecture?
    I’m not quit sure what you mean about “being suited to interior design”- though, maybe you could clarify?
    Good conversion in the first one-

    not sure about the second one…

    I have often seen large abstract images on the walls of show houses and it was this possible use I was alluding to.

    Yes I could easily see this printed large-
    would make a good print-

    I have rehashed the window shot and I think it is better in colour. Any views?
