Schoenbrunn Palace…County..Vienna?? :)

Its a lovely building, I was there a couple of years ago, and you captured it well.
The 3 layers sit together well: the textured sky, plain foreground and vibrant building.
Good sense of scale, nice.Martin

and tiny bit off the left maybe, for balance.My God Pixelle..what an eye :) I actually measured and it is less then .025mm more on the left side..Robocop ;) laser eye with integrated measuring device.
Cheers 8)I have come back to this a few times. It is a very good shot…. Martin summed it up well with the balance and complimenting layers.

Cheers 8)I’ve seen this happen before where a seemingly perfectly centered shot was throw off by the content. Last time it was a deck of a cruise ship and two deck chairs were missing on one side and that threw the balance off. I think what’s happening here is the trees to the right side are giving the eye a skewed effect. If you copy them to the other side just to see, or alternatively remove them. I’d never let myself get hung up on it though.
I think for the work you did, you placed yourself well, framed it well, post processed well and you got a good picture in the end.
..what an eye
Not really, I just counted the windows in the arcades on either side. 4.5 < 5.5 :) :oops:
I am not going to change it. I just find it funny. Pixelle is right. The picture is off center by a fraction of a mm :) And I knew why..the arcades on either side.
Would you believe I got this shot handheld, camera in one hand ( D700+Nikon 24-70 f/2.8+Grip+SB900 for fill flash..just in case)…while the other hand was holding a 3 year old desperate to go see the horses.I was surprised to see that the result was somehow decent enough to be kept.
I always meter for the sky and then depends on the scene and available light I underexpose a bit. I presume the full sensor did its job here. The only post processing was to blur a bit the foreground (pavement to sharp..damn good Nikon lens :) ) and to bring a bit of light into the facade.
Oh..and by the way. I used Capture NX. This shot opened in Lightroom would have been discarded. Every day I am amazed with the HUGE difference between the two.Thank you all. :D
Very nicely controlled image… well exposed and nice straight verticals..!
