About the Image(s)
This photo was taken in Houston, Texas in December. I was struck with the current architecture in the city and the open space on the drive. I was also trying to show the older buildings vs the newer skyscrapers. Data on it: Exp 1/800, F 4.0, taken with a Sony RX10iv. I tried a B&W conversion initially, but I thought the color better showcased the buildings. I could be persuaded to try the B&W if any of you think that is the way to go? I am considering putting it in the Architecture/City scape category in a Texas contest coming up, and it could go in either color or B&W. Any and all suggestions for improvements to make it more competitive are appreciated.

Rita,
The lines and reflections and color make this an interesting architectural image. Your editing definitely improves the image. I particularly like the left center building with the glass structure behind. I might have walked a bit closer and moved to the right side of the street to see if I could get an image with more of that building in it. Of course, if you get too close then you start to get an image where the lines and buildings start looking distorted. Maybe a bit like the attached without the better vantage point.

You did a nice job toning down the upper parts of buildings and opening the shadows in the lowers buildings. Posted: 01/11/2025 03:21:30
