I like the composition full of shapes and lines with the two angles merging near the middle of the image and the person providing scale and a strong focal point. It holds my interest. Perspective is good in terms of straight verticals. The only thing I can suggest for improvement is a boost in contrast to give a wider tonal range as I would like to see deeper blacks and crisper whites. Posted: 04/17/2025 09:32:41

Agree with Stuart. Sky looks overcast and no detail. Darken / burn the sky some if possible. Like the silhouette and perspective. Posted: 04/19/2025 05:48:53
Yes I know this image very well, as I used to live just below Simon Fraser University. The leading lines to a corner offer a good perspective to this unique architecture. Posted: 04/19/2025 13:36:50
I agree with those comments, and Chris's suggestion. As I had Affinity open (see my comments on Stan's photo) I took a screen shot, upped the contrast, and to me it has more impact. Posted: 04/19/2025 18:05:25
I'm going round my comments again, As mentioned in my second comment on Stan's photo, my monitor was showing the images in low contrast, so my revised view here (using my laptop monitor now) is that the contrast on your image is fine. Goes to show how much difference the monitor makes! Posted: 04/19/2025 18:53:01
