england - oxford The Radcliffe Camera

Nick, you got that right. Sharp, clear and powerful.Reminds me when i travel,when you look at history,you are really with it.good perspective.

The Radcliffe Camera, is part of Oxford University's Bodlian Library. The pomp and

grandure of these buildings is remarkable when one considers that they are an

architectural celebration of the written word! - Please offer critiques.

A friend of mine spent a year at Oxford, and I saw this building in person and in her photographs. Your photograph was instantly recognizeable. It's a gorgeous building. Kudos to you for getting out of the architect's way and simply presenting this landmark in all its grace and solidity. Good exposure, good framing, crisp bright colors ... very very nice.

Thanks Alix, nice to have your artistic insights.

 

Thanks Ben, I had a dear girlfriend who lived in Oxford, so I spent a lot of time there, and although I have always seen it as "the other place", I fell in love with its beautiful architecture.

 

Regards, Nick.

I can feel comfortabel to agree with all said here. I've seen the building as well and I'm glad to see it here again. Really like your capture of this interesting architectural history.

Nicholas, This is absolutely a wonderful image. You captured it well. I like the perspective and the sharp crispness of everything in the frame. Bravo! Cheers, Todd

Most good things I had in mind about this photo have already been said above, I would only add that I very much like the colour contrast given by the grass, as well as the fence in the foreground ... so actually I would like to see a bit more of it. Perhaps stepping back (if at all possible) would allow this together with some reduction of the steep perspective, possibly for the better.

Nick the comp here is superb. Looks like out of Yellow submarine of monte phython art...England somewhere...looks very English lol. Lens choice and cropping show excellent O.... Very slight nit pick is that centre fence rod should be exactly dead centre to the viewer in this pic anyway, to be congruent with the dynamics. The sky right top has too much cyan i think...thats bit more serious, but not end of the world lol. Very good i love this one. 6/7...ah edit...i think it needs a rotation right about 1 degree Nick...just that may be the prob...these are hard to level.
