The Birthplace of Pakistan by Jo-Ann Rolle

April 2021 - The Birthplace of Pakistan

About the Image(s)

Its been more than a year since I have travelled. This was not my first trip to Pakistan but it was my first trip to Lahore. The hospitality was amazing. After the conference we toured different regions and national sites. There were many truly great images which I will share in later posting. I chose this one to start because it was regal in the sky as limitless and boundless with bird circling the airspace. It is the birthplace of the idea of Pakistan.

There was no editing of this image. It is all natural with my new Cannot T8i.

Very interesting image. At first I thought it was the Eiffel Tower! Thanks for telling us about Pakistan.

Areas for improvement: The image needs to be straightened. It is leaning to the right. All of the birds are a distraction. Suggest cloning them out. You were stuck with a boring sky. You could replace it using Luminar or PS. Normally the guideline in shooting architecture is to shoot it dead on symmetrical or deliberately non-symetrical. This is shot non-symmetrical, but I'm not sure that that angle helps it. You might consider cropping off the left side,   Posted: 04/15/2021 08:51:12

It is an interesting image, and like David, I had to a double take as I too when it first appeared on my screen thought it to be the Eiffel Tower. Some post processing could help this image a lot.   Posted: 04/17/2021 12:52:17



 
Nice shot but I agree with David and Alan, straighten, crop off some of left side, clone out birds, maybe replace sky but this is how you saw it so that depends on what you want. Congrats on you new camera!   Posted: 04/21/2021 23:33:30



 
This is an interesting subject with a lot of potential. I agree with the other comments that it should be straightened. I know that when we are traveling we don't always have the option to return when the light or sky is better, so there may have been nothing you could have done about the overcast sky. Sometimes when I have a boring gray sky, I try converting the image to black and white. Doing so would also draw attention to the details and patterns of the tower's architecture.   Posted: 04/30/2021 11:19:24
