    Hanging Gardens

    This caught my eye in downtown Atlanta.

    lovely lines and shapes here. i like how the pillar cuts through a third of the shadows seem a bit too heavy in this type of shot. i think i would've liked it had it had more vibrant and bright colours. but love the composition.

    I totally agree about the colors should be more vibrant. I tried in PS, but I was getting phony results.

    Looks surreal, like it is a graphical creation (maybe in a Sci-Fi movie). I like the geometry but the only way to save the sides from going dark on your relative to the bright sky is probably an HDR. Actually, this isn't bad considering.

    Somehow I don't associate a contemporary structure like this in Atlanta!

    Re: Hanging Gardens

    LOVE THIS! All the different shapes and the sudden shifts in the lines are awesome. I am the queen of the overdone and normally LOVE colors that scream and lots of contrast, but I am going against my nature here and saying that I think it's better with the muted colors. The lines and geometry are so strong, and the shadows so heavy, that color, to me, would simply become (and I can't believe I'm saying this!) too much of a good thing.

    very cool picture. i like how my eyes travel up the post. the only thing I find a bit distracting is the bright spot on the balcony in the top right. My eyes travel up and to the right every time. awesome picture!
