Nice detail and lighting, good variation in the colours adds interest, and stacking them makes a nice change from simply putting them on a plate. The objects in the background intrude a little too much though - maybe having them a bit further off or more to one side might help?

Greetings from the Critique Club! :)

What a fascinating find...such interesting structures and textures. I think, just from first glance, I'd offer these suggestions to make this image come alive.

Your composition from left to right is OK, but from top to bottom is rather static. Your "roofs" cut the image in half, with them at the bottom and the sky on the top. I realize you want to include as much of that dramatic sky as possible, but the challenge is Architecture and the sky is really secondary in the image as far as the voters are concerned. Tilting the camera down and losing some of the sky (see the rule of thirds) would make it more visually dynamic.

The buildings themselves are rather flatly lit and have little light on them. Shooting at a time of day when the light is a golden hue or a pale pinkish hue would add a lot of magic to the scene. You might not have as great a sky for a background, but then again, for this challenge anyway, the sky is less important than the subject, which is the interesting roof/buildings. Adjusting levels, curves, and some intricate dodging and burning would go a long way to add drama.

I think you have a good eye for finding neat things to shoot...keep up the good work and if you have any questions, let me know! :)

Take care,
Laurie

Not really a fan of the crop; too much sky, not enough building

interesting sky, but where is the architecture. Ohh. I see it, its under the dull boring flat shadows at the way bottom of the image. Not very well excuted.

I think this would have worked better had you focused on a smaller section of the roof--the "big picture" in this case make it less interesting than it might otherwise have been

Beautiful sky. The roofs are definitely dressed up by the sky, but better light on a few areas of the roofs, perhaps from a different time of day, may have enhanced their lines better.
