NYC Architecture

Unfortunately I did not notate where I took this shot. It was near a coffee shop though. That ought to narrow it down. Should I have chosen to include more of the building? Or should I crop? I do like it as it is, but I know there is always room for improvement.

There might be a lot of interesting textures and things to look at here but there is really nowhere for me to focus. I just don't see a real focal point. Just doesn't really do anything for me. maybe if it was at a different angle or there was more of it. Not sure.

I suppose the dragon and crown is what made you take this photo, a tighter crop around it would help isolate it

the image needs to be level it is tilting to the right

the dragon has portions a bit overexposed and looses the texture

Unfortunatly its always tricky shooting upwards and from the side. Doesnt make for a pretty picture. I like your exposure levels though, there arnt any areas that are majorly blown out or too dark. I guess I would have croped in on the dragon and tried to use the shape of the archway.

I think there is potential for some post-production adjustments to give a specific point of focus.

Perhaps some selective level adjustment on the non-focus areas (ie: background) to be a bit darker, while leaving the dragon/crown at the levels they pretty much are. I think it would potentially give it some pop and provide that point of focus that seems to be missing.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the comments. I just compared the print and this screen shot and it looks better with the print. To me, at least. I didn't have a problem with the focus point, but I am seeing what you mean, like there seems to be three sections of the photo competing.
I appreciate you taking he time to comment.
