Hi from the Critique Club,

You've captured a beautiful building from a very interesting perspective. I like the composition, although it might have been better if the shadows and the top portion of the other tower weren't in the image. The image might have fared better with an increase in contrast, especially in the sky. For the future, a polarizer does a great job of deepening the blues in skies while maintaining very white clouds.

Alternatively, you could have taken a shot from almost right under the tower, looking up at it and capturing some of the texture of the building.

This is a good image, and a good first submission to DPC. Congratulations, and keep submitting!

Regards,
Geoff

I think this could use some contrast to bring out the textures and details. Also I wouldn't mind seeing this converted to b&w

I believe this picture would seem better in b/w and colours seem too orange..
