I like the interior lights still being visible... and the textures on the pole and building look great, for the kind of tone you seem to going for. My only suggestion would be less contrast on the sky... OR, if the sky is your main focus, less detail on the building and pole... with all of it highly contrasted, you have to make your eyes find the different subjects in it. But, like I said a few sentences ago, for all I know, that could have been your full intention. Never really know unless you're in the artist's head, which is pretty rare... lol

I like the perspective on this. Especially how the streetlight is perpendicular to the top of the frame. I also like that you can see the lights are on in the first 6 floors. And that they are in color. All in all, a good shot!

that is what i need ^^

firstly THANKS YOU for noticing the lights, i realllly needed them to draw some focal point and contrast against the whole 'grayed' out photo.

the main focus is the building and now i look at it yes the sky seems to be the main focus which sucks i have logged that into my improvements list and will put it to practice in future shots.

amazing dramatic sky..
B&W would be better for this shot not a gray tone..
again, the angle and the inclined horizon is not my type of images

I like the use of the lines. The pole, on a horizontal line across the top of the frame. The right side of the building, vertical on the frame. Outstanding sharpness through-out the entire height of the building.
Where the top most point of the roof seems to be perfectly placed, as the roof's angle drops, it matches up with the curvature of the streetlight.

The only thing that's odd for me, is the tree on the far left, is it tethered to the balcony, for support by chance?

Other than that very good.

cool shot.

I like the diagonal direction of the building and the way you've selectively kept the colour of the lights in the building. brilliant.

I think it could use some stronger contrast, not much but a little, and I've been considering the pole. I think it's too much. It's a random aside that is not related to the main image and gets in the way of the general balance of the image. I was thinking how I like the focal movement and its curve, but it clutters up the composition of what is a nice building and lovely clouds.

overall nicely done, though

yeah one of the things bia was telling me, but i liked the original blue sky so i settled for gray blue.

she also likes the b&w, i wanted a less emotive more....evil/powerful feel to the building to compliment the clouds

thanks as always

thank you for your kinds words and always detailed comments, i love to see people notice the things i strive for when working on my images really does it for me.

funny enough, i have NO IDEA what the hell that is, im gona go walk past it later and find out i cant even tell from the original photo and i didnt want to edit it out.

thanks

excellent input thank you.

i actualy had the curves to a custom contrast much stronger then this, and it looked much nicer but no matter what i did the top of the building and virtually the whole lamp post lost detail which bothered me.

in the end bia suggested its not worth it and that convinced me.

as for the lamp post, it was the only reason i uploaded this, but in saying it draws ur eyes from the focal point of the building and cloud does make sense, im realising the building is fairly large.

thanks!
