    Re: Office building

    I really like the colours in this photo.

    the curved trunks framing the picture is excellent but the trees in front of the building hide too much of it for my liking. If the rear left tree was not on the triangle then it would open it up more and allow more of the building to be seen.

    Nice concept.

    Re: Office building

    The two things that bother me the most are the tree on the right is white over exposed? and lacks color and texture. Also the tree just in front of it hurts the composition in my book. It kills the balance of the image. I think that it could, with a little effort, be removed. I think that if you could reshoot at a different time of day and balance the lighting better it would work better.

    Re: Office building

    well..i reshot today at 830 am...this one was around 1100. I have some PP to do and see what I got. Will post here later. My thinking was what would this building mgmnt like to see on their wall for a paid copy. With that I thought it was important to get as much of the building and surrounding area without diluting the building .10 cents makes me a pro rightt.

    I love the new shots - the white pillar in the top one needs toning down a bit but other than that both are great shots.

    Re: Office building

    I think the second posting with the palm trees is the best, though the pic seems to have a slight tilt that the first image didn't. The first is also a little more open. I guess they're both nice in their own way.

    That fisheye looks fun. I bet it cost a fortune.

    The second post takes it. Great shapes here, excellent framing in #1 gives it depth, and I'm glad to see more detail on the right tree.

    589 BH photo...great service received in 3 days ny to fla. I'm enjoying it a lot and im looking forward to getting out in the swamp with it and then maybe doing the wide angle correction and some BW and sepia stuff. The second post was moved up closer to the second set of palms which acentuated the distortion on the building.

    I saw some software for that at PMA but don't have a wide enough lens to evaluate it.
    I only have the EFS10-22 which is en effective 16mm at widest zoom.
    I'm be interested to know how you do the correction.
