Nice shot, Tom. My only suggestion would be to eliminate (crop) the row of brighter windows on the left. They are a bit distracting. Posted: 07/03/2025 14:56:09
Glad you pointed it out. I've debated whether to crop it out or keep it. I'll look it again. Thanks! Posted: 07/03/2025 19:28:17
I like the silhouette of the church against the blue glass building. What a concept!!! Wasn't sure if it was intentional but my eye initially focuses on the small black squares and then the reflect to the right just above the church. Posted: 07/03/2025 17:38:20
I notice those three black blocks when I took the shot but didn't know what they really are. I guess they are just windows in different shade. The bight patch is part of the cloud pattern reflection. Posted: 07/04/2025 03:05:26
