To me this is a pretty image of the Danube and the Parliament Building framed by the pillars and arches. The blue sky and the white building in soft light look beautiful. I suspect the orange color of the building on the left side may be a little bit distracting.   Posted: 12/06/2019 08:54:23



 
love the framing of this picture however the yellow building on the left does feel a little distracting. I wish that the parliament building was sharper although I suspect that given the depth of field in the picture that would have been hard to accomplish.   Posted: 12/08/2019 13:07:12

I like the framing here and the viewpoint. I agree that the bright orange building does get a lot of my attention, and maybe toning the brightness or color might improve it.   Posted: 12/12/2019 16:45:29

Budapest is a treasure trove for photographers, and you produced a very nice framing of the parliament building. I don't know how much room you had to go lower and eliminate the distracting orange building. As it is now, the best option should be to darken it.   Posted: 12/14/2019 14:59:15

This is the highest vantage point to photograph the Budapest Parliament. The orange building is unavoidable. There is no lower vantage point unless you go all the way down across the Danube level.   Posted: 12/24/2019 09:08:31

I would crop out the whole left archway ( most of the distant images in that "frame" are not particularly to me interesting) or crop out the the bottom foreground. If that spoils what you wanted, I agree that the orange building should be darkened or even desaturated.   Posted: 12/21/2019 11:32:44

I agree with all the comments about the orange roof. However I feel that cropping off the left arch will destroy the symmetry of the picture. I have other pictures with just one of the arches and is not as effective.   Posted: 12/21/2019 13:40:03
