Hi Ed: I love your image! You captured a nice perspective of a V E R Y tall building, with reflections adding to your composition. Technically well done... a really nice image.   Posted: 05/13/2023 07:46:40

Ed - a dramatic image with great balance and perspective. To my eye there is an extensive halo around the tower, but that may be just the way the sky was.   Posted: 05/14/2023 04:12:39

Peter, I will go back to the image and see if there is a halo or really the just the clouds. In any event, I think slightly darkening that area around the building might eliminate the appearance of a halo and improve the image. Thanks.   Posted: 05/24/2023 13:25:57

Ed, Great Stuff. Modern buildings can be wonderful subjects.
However they do need to be photographed well as you have done here.   Posted: 05/17/2023 07:40:47

Ed,
Like the others in the group, I enjoyed viewing your image. It is shot in such a way to make the building even more dramatic. Great use of editing to enhance the shot. Susan   Posted: 05/23/2023 16:41:29
