    Old Minsk Town Hall

    I'm slowly getting around to processing some of the shots I took a couple weeks back. Any feedback on this one?

    Thanks,

    I really like the composition but did you really intend for the sky colors to be that strong?
    No, I DON'T need that.

    love the comp and the tones you got out of the Town Hall. The sky is heavy in it's blue. Perhaps if it faded more as it nears horizon it would work but as it is seems too strong.The white clouds are even bleeding in the blue.
    Still works, just a bit less sat.
    Great

    MB1 and Gahspidy are right on the money regarding the over-saturation. A gradated blue sky, from dark blue at the top to light blue would create a more natural effect. However, if you intended to create a graphic, painted look, that works really well too.
    Nice lines, good angle. Good job.

    MB, Gary, Freedom - Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the sky is a little strong. I was trying a LAB color treatment that I saw online, but I can see where it came out too strong. I like what happened with the building, but the sky suffered. I'll revisit this to do some corrections.

    Thanks for the great feedback.

    Architectural shots can be interesting and this one is good. It doesn't knock my socks off so to speak, for it is a straightforward shot of a nice building, but it is sound. Can't see too many ways to improve it - good color, DOF,sharpness, sky.
