I know I'm going to get dinged by the huge hot spot, but still thought this was a good picture.

to much sun blow out on the roofs. A little differnt angle, maybe lower/closer, or higher farther away would help. It is nice architecture, but a poor image.

nice too bad about the blow-outs... tough to avoid though... maybe softer lighting would have helped. (ie. cloud cover)

I like everything about this image, the colors of the sky and the light on the steel, except the blown out center portion. I don't know if there was a way to capture this image without the high highlights, but unfortunately it lowered the score on the image. 5

A very cool building, but I think this shot is thrown off by the exposure; the overexposed bottom right part is too distracting to notice the lines of the building, and the underexposed parts fail to show the detail of the building, which I think would be a good thing to have here.

I guess even with the surface dulled, it still reflects too much light! The dynamic range of the Disney Hall with this lighting is too great for film to capture, much less the digital sensor. As a result, several surfaces are overexposed, and the lower left shadows are almost gone. I am a little bothered by the upper edge of the building being cut off. Overall, a bold attempt to capture a beautiful but difficult subject.

I don't the like the burnt out highlights.

the slight merge with the top of the building is distracting....I would have backed up and got a little more sky in the photo.

What caused the bright portions, the left side looks more like a low light (evening) but the blow-out disrupts the flow. Cool choice of location though.

Hopefully they used recycled tin cans to make this monstrosity. Nice photo though. ;-)

This is an interesting building and photo, but it's too busy for my taste.

an amazing piece of architecture, such strong shapes
imho would perhaps have been a little stronger as an image if the top corner was included in your shot (but maybe something restricted your angle?)
good colours
