now that the challenge is over i'd be really interested in seeing what you would do with this in advanced editing. if the windows were a little darker/more reflective and the cross and black line across the roof were slightly darker i think it would look really cool. but thats just my opinion. i went for an angled shot for this challenge too. i like that perspective for this shot. may have helped to crop it a bit off center. but as it is its fantastic. especially for a first entry. im excited to see whats yet to come from you. and if your going to be at the Atlanta GTG this weekend, see you there!

Top ten on your second entry...very nice. This is a really nice image, and the placing is well deserved. The toning and the centered composition work very, very well for this photograph. My only critique is that you lost a little pixel data on the right near the bottom during the post-processing. Nothing you could do about it for basic editing, but something to work on if you are looking to print it. Great eye and a terrific capture. Its always good to see the GA photogs up near the top.

Good sky, good contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

love the clouds! I think I would've cropped a bit from the left side, the tower is a bit too much in the middle for me.

Very interesting subject! The angles provide a lot of rhythm and I love the mood of the clouds. Nicely done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

If Max Escher took photographs, this might be one. The angle, the arched windows, the angry sky - it all comes together for a great image.

Looks very surrealist! I like the clouds, it makes it a powerfull image:)

I love the simplicity of this shot and if those clouds are natural they're amazing.

The green sky looks sort of toxic to me.. I like the shpae of the tower though.

Interesting architecture. It seems sort of dull, though, maybe more contrast would help.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very powerful image. Love the clouds and how you composed this shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

The border really suits the heavy black lines in the image - well done on an appropriate border. I really like this shot - and such an interestingly shaped building. Well done.
