*Composition (content)*
The composition needs some work.
The horizon isn't straight, remember to get a straight horizon when composing the shot or leave room for cropping with post processing. Straighten by arbitrary rotation, either guessing or using a measure tool (Photoshop). It should be a slight bit rotated to the left.
The building looks distorted, like it is falling backwards and like all the walls want to meet at a point in the sky. The fence screems wideangle barrel distortion. It is a result of using a wideangle setting. The solution is to stand back and zoom in, using telephoto from a distance takes away the distortion.
Take a look at this photo: //www.dpchallenge.com/image.asp?IMAGE_ID=3353 to see what I mean.
Contrast between light and dark area's is good.
*Background*
Nothing to say something about. Altough, like you can see on the picture from the link a late evening or early morning sky might be more interesting.
*Camera Work (Technical)*
See other comments.
Focus is good, sharpness a bit on the soft side, aperture choice good.
*Digital Processing (technical)*
I think that the soft I see is because of slight jpeg compression image degradation. Remember to save it as close to 150kb as you can get, it is really important for the fine detail, especially when you portray such a large building in a 640x480 image.
Because of the colors in Patella's image I loaded this picture in Photoshop and did some color corrections. Adding red and yellow, but taking out green gave a much more balanced color and got rid of that blue/green cast. It could very well be that the lights are blue, but I doubt it.
*My opinion*
Reasonable picture of a building if it weren't for the distortion and heavy green/blue cast. |

a really nice photo, but for me there is no "impact of the moment" as stated in the challenge

| I'm not seeing the journalism part. The photo part you have down pat. I figured there would be quite a few stretches in this challenge. Very nice pic - Inspzil |
