robertbrown 1 Posted December 10, 2001 This photo was taken from the outside viewing area at the Camera Obscura in Edinburgh, Scotland. The weather was surprising clear that day. Shot this in digital black and white and toned it slightly in PS. Would appreciate suggestions, comments, and ratings. Thanks. Link to comment

alexias_alvarado 0 Posted December 10, 2001 I like the variety of geometric shapes in this photo. The fact that it is black and white enhances this element. Link to comment
roger_wesson 0 Posted December 10, 2001 I like the subject and the composition, but the horizon is tilting a little bit. More subjectively I think I'd like it more if the spires were a little bit lighter as well. Link to comment
fabriziogiudici 0 Posted December 10, 2001 It is a nice photo of an ol' scotland town. I like the exposure and the b/w is a good idea here. I would suggest cropping a bit to the left side (to cut away the five-windows building slice) and at the bottom (to cut away the roof section with the white stripe). Cropping to the left side would probably need some cropping to the right side too for balancing the composition. The slight horizon tilt does not disturb me. Too bad for the crane in the background... Link to comment
dan_sheppard 0 Posted December 11, 2001 I like the shot. I agree that the horizon needs to be straight. It was good that you put the horizon up to the "thirds" line, and not straight in the middle. I concur with cutting out the "5 windows" on the left. The bottom is a little perplexing. The standard rule would be that the building should either be in the photo (majority of it) or out of the picture. Although there is not much of the building in, there is a lot of "roof stuff" going on. Depending on your lens and actual perspective, it would be ideal if you were able to "lower" the front of the picture to include some of the side of the front building, depending upon what is below it. Great show of contrast and I like your choice of positions (perspective). Link to comment
