    Re: Down on the corner, Out in the street

    rylan,

    I like the colours taken at the right time of day.

    I feel the building needs to be rotate a little to the left to get the corner edge vertical. It is possible to correct the tilt of the building by using PS's transform tool so that all the edges become vertical.

    The only other thing that caught my eye is the light encroaching into the frame top left. Clone this out to tidy it up.

    I like the subject and composition. I do think it is to tight at the bottom. I guess you was as far back as you could get?

    Great color and example of the golden hour.
    I'm thinking that if you had moved a little to your right you could have got a shot that wouldn't be so tight in the lower left of the building but I wasn't there so don't know.
    Keep Shooting!

    This is hyper-realistic, like a surrealistic painting. I love the sharpness and the way the light seems to mold the shape. In the upper left corner there is the left over of somethingthat should be cloned out.

    Re: Down on the corner, Out in the street

    I LOVE this shot. I hadn't noticed the bit o' street lamp until it was mentioned in other critiques. I am not sure what exactly I like so much, but the picture really grabs me. It might be all the detail in the building or the lighting or . . .

    Re: Down on the corner, Out in the street

    Wow, an impressively angled shot. Makes one appreciate the engineering that went into designing and building it, though the perspective does make it seem tilted. You needed one of those tilting film plane cameras (forget what they're called... they're excellent for architectural shots like this.........) And yeah there's definitely something entering the frame up there in the upper left! Very sharp photo, good DOF, great detail.,
