    I like it. It's moody. Maybe getting a little closer would cut out a little of the parking lot and sky, although I'm not sure you get the whole building in. I would have darkened he parking lot some to obscure the lines.

    Your watermark overwhelms the image.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Great pic from one of the masterpieces of Frank O. Gehry.

    As for the pic the thing that I think must be adjusted with some PP is the heavy barrel distortion, I assume you did this with the 10-24?
    And also if possible clone out the light on the left top corner.

    Nice shot.

    Thanks BlueRob .. yes 10-24 at 10mm resulting in barrel distortion.
    What I forgot to try is to shoot this pic again with the kit lens 18-55 IS at 18.... would remedy the barrel distortion. But I was really having fun with the wide angle (just got it...so still in the honeymoon stage.)
    I can crop that light on the left top corner. Thanks and I really appreciate it.

    Since this is Gehry`s work the distortion does not affect at all LOL!

    so true. You can't really check for symmetry when the structure itself has an odd design which makes it standout and unique.

    I like it, I wouldn't cut the sky at all....maybe a little of the parking lot but to be honest I like the composition the way it is. The clouds look awesome, I love these kinds of shots

    lol well, That will be too large of a trip on a student income and, soon to be, unemployment. We have talked about it though. I have been to SF but never LA and I have a few friends that live there. Sad thing is, when I do get home it is to the vast emptiness that is the midwest. :cryin:
