Simple ... or simply boring?

Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 8:25 pmPosted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 8:27 pmI like it. Lovely deep colour in the sky thanks to the polariser and simple, but effective, I think. There's a little white spot (cloud?) in the bottom left that I would clone out. I would also consider cropping the RHS a smidgen more to get rid of the tiny bit of other building/background.
Posted: Tue Apr 18, 2006 8:28 pmThe image works for me - simple, striking and effective. I must admit though that I'm a big fan of polarisers, this may bias my reaction

I've cloned out the white spot (was a plane!) and the other building (good spotting!). Due to my gallery layout I've replaced the original image so those who post later can't see what Macka was commenting about

Only suggestion I could make is to perhaps crop off the bottom so the architectural detail isn't chopped off, rather that the image either starts *just* above where the clipped details are or includes them...

Mudder - I too was debating that myself, and I think you are right. I'll have a go at that later tonight.

Simple classic lines, but will be better after the crop. It's a strong image and works well.
