    Looks like a very interesting building, I like the sharpness, the tones, the background light and blurry clouds

    but ... the strange composition , chopped subject and tilted heavily , in my opinion, do not add to the image

    wow, what a cool looking bulding and amazing sky to go behind it. I like this a lot but not sure if I am agreeiing with where you chose to cut off the top and bottom.

    Interesting building but as mentioned above the composition lacks strength do to the strange angle plus the building being chopped top and bottom.

    Re: Diagonals

    armando, thank you

    gary, I'm not sure I have any more of these. I still have many shots to go through. If I do find any, I'll post them. thanks

    rob, thanks man.

    I was sorta just shooting for lines and shapes and trying to get the exposure correct, and opened the shutter for quite a long time to gather all the light. I wasn't really treating this one as a building but just textures, lights, shapes and lines. But I do understand that it's not that strong

    thanks guys.
