Sorry for another thread, but this photo was very well recieved elsewhere.

Please let me know the good and the bad of this image.

I like it. The repeating geometric patterns and the odd angle of the building make it somehow compelling. Is this a composite, or a single image?

Cheers,

Thanks Jeremy, it is a single image.

Very interesting shot! I like it!

Perhaps exposing for the shadows on the left and bringing out more details from the building could improve it.

This looks great. What did you do different?

- Adjusted exposure to +0.7 EV
- Raised shadows and highlights (not sure about midtones)

Very interesting shot to play with.

The one thing that kind of grabbed me was that the angle was odd. I don't know how to explaine it so I played with your picture a little. I hope you do not mind.

Here is the original, see the red line points out the odd angle, I like it, but it just was off from the 30, 45, 60, 90 of my geometric mind...

So I rotated the picture a bit and then had to crop it to fill the frame...

I do not know if it is any better, makes the building fell like it is falling into the picture more, which is not a warm fuzzy feeling.

Interesting to play with, you have a great shot! so many ways to tweek it, I would love to live there and have a chance to shoot it many different ways, the new and old archicture, lines and angles, great material to work with.

Thanks for the showing us!

Very interesting take on it Bryan, I liked what you did.

Yeah, San Francisco is a wonderful place :)

When I first saw this photo, it looked like lattice work, not another building :D

It took a little while before I figured out that it was actually another building w/ the sky reflection in the window.
