Achitecture

Local Older Building. Comments & critique welcome. Is this too light?

The lighting was pretty flat, so I decided to go with it. Any ideas?

I actually think the lighting is OK. I would like to see more of the tree. Overall the image seems a little soft.

drainage pipe ruins an otherwise nice frame

Thanks- for the comments, I appreciate them!

 

David- I agree, me too, but there's this really distractingly ugly building right next to the tree!:O Neat tree isn't it?! I also added a soft flat color glow to it, so you are right, it's a little soft. I thought it gave the building a little more drama. Maybe not! :)

 

Chou- Isn't that the truth. Beautifully light cream painted building with this ugly dark brown down spout! The funny thing is this building in located in our "Historical" district. Supposedly, things like this just don't happen, somehow it slipped by someone! Our "hysterical" committee must be slipping :)

Jayme - usually I like the soft colors created by lighting in your shots, but for some reason, yes, in my opinion the lighting is too light..... It is an interesting building, though.

Jayme, I think you did a very good job on this. You turned an ordinary scene into something that stands out.

Sarah- I see the ugly downspout as leading me up the buiding to the peak, the sliding down the roof eave & then a big jump into the tree. Then back up on the fence & up the downspout again. Viscious circle:) Don't you wish you could actual DO this??? :)))
