    This is my first post so be gentle! :D
    Took this shot the other day, so i went back that night to take it again. Would love to hear your opinions.

    hello doctor,

    and welcome to the site-
    well done for the two posts, interesting to see the differences-

    First let me say that it might be worth doing again, at sometime in between these two- dusk can be good, while there’s still some light in the sky- the light changes pretty rapidly at this time, so take lots, and check out the differences later.

    second, I see you’re using Photoshop cs- maybe you need to start using some filters and transformations. It looks like you may have a slight bit of barrel distortion which can be removed in photoshop- filters- lens correction- and while you’re at it, maybe you could straighten up the verticals- I think it would make a major difference to this picture.

    Thanks Joseph

    Yea, ive been meaning to head down at dusk since i took them 2 shots. i will post them when i do.

    I cant seem to find the lens correction function in the filters section. Am i just not seeing it??
    Tried adjusting the perspective in the transformation section to get the lines vertical. Is this what you were talking about?

    Thanks

    Personally I’d be inclined to leave the verticals as they are.

    Definitely worth trying more shots at dusk

    Have to say I would be with Joseph on this… most pro architectural photographers use Tilt and Shift lens to assure perspective distortion is kept at bay. The client typically likes to see their building as it looks to their eye. The alternative which is also done quite often is the complete opposite… getting up close to the builing and throwing the perspective way out with an ultrawide lens… can look amazing when done correctly…! As said in another post… getting out at dusk (or dawn) will balance the limage a bit better… it will also help preserve the highlights of the artificial lights which often get overcooked with long exposures in pitch black skies at night…! In saying that i quite like the image, particularly the night time version… I am a fan of this building… something nice about its stark simplicity and delicate use of materials…!

    I still dont see the lens correction funtion?

    I achieved this through transform – distort.
