 Having spent over an hour walking around in the midday sun with a temperature of over 40 degrees C on Saturday and coming away with nothing I was happy with I was ready to give up on the Architecture challenge!

However, this building - the new Zamil HG in Manama, Bahrain - is one I love, and is right next door to my office building. So, leaving work I took one or two shots just before sunset and was reasonably pleased with this one.

Converted from RAW, cropped and rotated slightly. Levels, curves, USM. Resized and added stroke border.

Great minimalist approach! The cropping really accenuates the architectural details. I love the shadows cast by the designs on the righthand side. The exposure looks good. My only advice is that the colors seem to have an overall warm cast - perhaps it could be cooled down.

I like that your subject shows contrast while connecting itself; the pattern is difference from the normal windows and yet they are both of the same shape and size. Crisp, clear... contrasting colors. I would have enhanced contrast more.

Nice shot, the sun really lights it up.

Doesn't look to be quite in focus.

Nope, it's not doing anything for me. It's very uninteresting.
