About the Image(s)
Big Easy is a restaurant in Canary Wharf in the East End of London. Canary Wharf is a massive commercial and residential redevelopment of the old London Docks and is a delight for architectural photography. I carried out some sectional adjustments in Photoshop to bring out a little more detail and took out the slightly converging verticals. Image was taken at 1/50 sec, f14 and ISO 64 on a tripod.

This is a wonderful image with the mix of unusual architecture. I like the juxtaposition of the Big Easy's rounded shape with the straight lines and square shapes of the surrounding buildings. It looks like an open mouth of a huge shark. A nicely seen composition! Posted: 11/03/2024 11:29:07
A nice architectural scene with great details and exposure. Your composition is good, too. My only nit-pick suggestion is to clone out the several dots in the water. Not a big deal, but I notice them. Posted: 11/03/2024 20:16:35
Thanks Cindy. Please see my reply to Charlie below. Posted: 11/18/2024 10:20:19
Indeed a wonderful place for arch photo, lines, curves, light and shadows. Nice location.
One little note, see if you can bring out a tad of shadow in the dark area. just a little, especially the steps under the shell curve structure. I'd like to see some gradual darken toward the "big easy". Posted: 11/12/2024 14:53:59

Thanks Charlie. I have lightened the dark area below the platform of the restaurant but as I recall there was very little detail in that part of the building, only faint horizontal lines that were only noticeable from nearer to the building. I have also removed the spots that Cindy refers to. I think I will go back and take a little more time because I was in a group and the amount of time we each had from that vantage point was limited.

To me, the image is very underexposed to begin with therefiore, most of the detail is not salvageable.
