Medienhafen Zollhof, Duesseldorf, Germany

Hi,

I wanted to figure out the massivness of that building.

Thanks for critique.

I have to start out by saying: great job on making this photo look like a gallery frame, I half-expect the next photo.net image to scroll in from the right and to have a little card underneath.

This effect is unfortunately reinforced by what looks like a smudge on the glass right above the centre of the building (but which I suspect is a high-flying cloud). I am normally in favour of keeping photos as unmodified as possible (I prefer the 'retro' thing ;) ) but in this case I'm prepared to make an exception. The cloud is so small and light that it really ends up looking like an artifact.

Compositionally, I like the strong central triangle formed by the framing of the shot. The many 'facets' of the building serve to give the photo a nice range of tones of different intencities.

The top-left corner is noticeably darker than the top-right corner, but I think that this may be an atmospheric effect rather than a polarisation problem. The darker corner (since it fades as you move toward the centre of the photo) serves to pick out the detail of the building and the edge of the frame rather nicely.

Cheers,

jon
