 I have no idea how this will be received!

Night-time shot of an historic building lit with flood lights that gave a very pronounced orange cast, even to the naked eye. Exposing for the brighly lit building gave the original image a black sky. Inverting produced this mainly blue image against the white sky, which I kinda liked the look of. Not much else in the way of PP - slight curves adjustment, crop, resize, border.

Hi from the Critique Club!

This image reminds me of those cynatype photographs of the past. Together with the subject and the word Heritage this indeed could be an old photograph.

The crispness and cleaness of this image really add to its appeal. There is so much detail to look at and hold the viewers attention for a while.

The dark left hand side of the building does break up the balance of the image a little.

The image does appear to be tilting a little, but that's part of the joy of photographing buildings:)

A really interesting negative, well done!

The negative technique makes the building look like a toy - interesting!

This is nice but is tilted slightly to the left, a bit distracting.

Very good negative, seems to be tilting towards the left though, otherwise a good shot.
