Your comments are most welcome, thanks.

Very good. Congrats !

Well seen and captured, Jeff. You managed to capture an often photographed building in an interesting way. Having seen shots from a larger distance, I could not appreciate the detail as much as in your rendition. Is this taken after rain ?

Florin and Peter, thanks. This was taken early morning. It hadn't been raining but the light on the tiles produced an interesting effect. I hadn't realised that this happened, and certainly haven't seen it in other images. The colour image shows it possibly better: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6197503

Perfect in every way Jeff!

Clever composition, the vanishing point is well placed, love the lines. What about a bit more contrast ? I added a soft light blended layer to show what I mean

Thanks Carsten, and thanks for the suggestion. I've just been working on the original and like the extra contrast. I'm very hesitant with this stuff at the moment.

happy new year

Nice compo and superb lines ! Like a lot ! Fernand

I'll never get tiered of seeing pictures of this building. That being said, yours stands from most; great composition and tone values..... I'm also inclined towards adding more contrast.

Nice abstract. I like the variation in tones and the areas of sharp contrast. Good combination. BTW, I got the "good on yer" from Terry Pratchett. I assume this is an appropriate way to use it.

Thanks for the feedback, folks. Chuck, it is a good use of the term, and thanks again.

I like this composition very much and the textures are fantastic (they look like a snake's skin!). The gray tone is very good, as well. I think the sharpening is ok, but the only think that does not convince me is the sky: it seems a bit "artificial", like the result of a HDR...

Kind regards, Alberto.

Alberto, thanks for your comment. I see what you mean about HDR now that you point it out, but it certainly isn't a technique that I use. This is a simple B&W conversion from the original RGB file. Here is a link to the original: http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=6197503

 

Does this look OK to you?

Thank you, Jeff, now is all clear! Definitely I prefer the sky texture of the color version but I think that the B&W version of the building has more graphic impact!

This is a great shot, indeed.

Regards, Alberto.

Nice one jeff, ca`nt fault it,well done ,Gary.
