Marché Bonsecours

I would very much like to hear any comments.

Thanks :)

The exposure is right and you have got some nice cloud contrast. I like the tonality of the black and white, and the way the sun gleams off the dome.

The dome is leaning slightly left. If you used a tripod and a spirit level, you could ensure your camera was level with horizontal. That is considered the best style in landscape or architectural photographs.

I feel the trees in the foreground are sharp enough to distract from the main subject, while being unfocussed enough to be annoyed they are not sharp. Also, they add little to a sense of framing or to draw sight lines within the image.

Finally, the flagstaff on top of the dome is right up to the edge of the frame, and feels cramped. If there was a flag on it, I would certainly like to see it.

I feel this shot would be improved by turning the camera to the portrait format, by stepping forward slightly and moving a bit to the right to get the dome in a gap the middle of the trees. This would concentrate attention on the dome, which is more impressive than the rest of the building.

Then I would either try the trees in sharp focus, or to unfocuss them more. You could try both ways, and compare the results.

This looks an impressive building to photograph, and I hope you can return there often to try out different approaches. It can be very challenging to approach the same subject many different ways.
