Hi!
I'm sure I commented on this one, must have forgotten:)
I like the angle of the building, it gives it a dream like appearance along with the colours of the sky.
I like the way the sky reflects off the windows. Nice touch! Not to sure about the trees... |

Greetings from your own critique club.
First Impression
Very Nice and sharp shot.
Composition:
Good Composition.
Subject:
Very nice, fits the challenge
Technical (Colour and light):
Colors are very nice. As far as ligting is concern, I don't like dark foreground. I think dodging would have helped to bring out some details. The buildig it self and sky lighting is just perfect.
Improvement:
Details in the front.
Summary:
Very nice picture over all.
Cheers!! Keep shooting. |

Greetings from CTP2 Gunnsi
First impression
Nice, good timing (sunset), good angle, good focus. A bit dark in the foreground.
What can you do better
Seems to me that you will have to have a very special building to get a high score in this challenge. The picture in it self is very good and as I said I think you did a good job on choosing the angle. Everything but the lighting in the front. Possible better to be 30 minutes earlier to catch a tiny bit more light or us a fill flash on the trees. (if at all that is possible)

CTPII!
Hey, nice colours. i mean great colours. Can't say much about the building, though. Pretty drab, actually. Also, there's a bit of fringing on the edges of the building. A little less sharpening next time, perhaps? |

Hi from ctp2:
The lighting on this shot is beautiful. It is crips and clean. The composition is interesting, leading the eye down to the sunset. I like the reflection in the windows. The only minus on this, I think, is that the building is a little bland. All in all a great shot. |

Hi Alex!
Two things leap out at me immediately. First is that the photo is oversharpened. The halo around the building makes that too obvious. Second is that the subject is just not terribly interesting. The building you've chosen to photograph doesn't have any interesting features, which is very important in a DPC contest. The sunrise colors are great, but that just doesn't go far enough to saving this photo from boredom. |

Greetings from CTP2
Lighting/Color:
I like the lighting and the color is very pleasing.
Subject/composition:
Good subject for the challenge. The building creates an interesting diagonal and uses up the space well. The only thing that bothers me a little in terms of the composition is the space on top. The way it is now my eyes want to go up and out of the image on the left as oppose to down the diagonal line and into the sunset on the right. I think if you had more space at the top the image would be read more easily from left to right. However the shot is about the architecture and you captured it well.
Post Processing:
Overall it looks good. I tend to sharpen my images a lot also but one thing I try to do at least some of the time :) is avoid those halos. If USM is your only sharpening method (i.e. if you don't have smart sharpen) I would delete the effects of the USM around the very edges of the building. Or at least delete say 50% of the USM effect around the edges just so the halo isn't that prominent. Really the image will look sharp even if the borders of the building isn't tack sharp. If you want to keep that as sharp as it is another option would be to clone out the halo. Since this building has very straight lines I would use the pen tool to create a selection around the building and then invert the selection and use the clone or healing brush and paint over the halo edges. That way you can edit real close to the building edge without altering any of the pixels of the building itself. Anyway, the halo is not a huge distraction but I think voters will take points off for it regardless. |

| Neat picture but there's too much artifacting (or at least what appears to be) in the center and right of the building |

| It looks like the kind of photograph that the architect and his client would both happily pay you to take; very professional. 7. |

| Its a really good shot. Has great colors and composition. Very clear and in focus. The thing that may hurt you, is that its not a terribly interesting building, but a fine shot. |
