26 Apr 22 Reply Yes, I could have used a slower shutter speed, but I believe a bit before I was trying to catch a flying bird...so yes, probably just didn't have time to adjust it (or perhaps more likely sufficient brain power to think of it at the time ;-) ). Apr 18th
26 Apr 22 Comment It was wide open, which is f7.1 at 500mm, so yes not a lot of depth of field. I didn't have a problem with that, although it might have been nice to have more. I could have; it was at 1/2000s at ISO 800, so I did have some room there. Apr 17th
26 Apr 22 Comment Nice shot of this fellow. I like the framing the leaves give around the subject, although I also like the cropping that Mervyn suggested. Two different interpretations! Apr 9th
26 Apr 22 Comment I really like this image. I like the pattern, and really like the reflection you have in the windows--just enough detail, just the right exposure. Lots of details to look at here. Apr 9th
26 Apr 22 Comment Can't add much; I agree with Jose and Mervyn on all the points they made. high-key B&W works perfectly here--the background has just a bit of shadow and the rest can be "blown out." Apr 9th
26 Apr 22 Comment Sounds like I am the only one here that never heard of this building :-). I do like interesting architecture like this--as you point out, it is often hard to get unique photos of places that have been photographed so much. Before I read the other comments I was going to suggest removing the crane as well--I do like the edited version much better. Not only was the crane distracting to me, but it also was "touching" the building--if it had some separation in the original it would have bothered me less. Still, I think it is better for it to not be there. I have been trying to get used to removing things like that myself--in the past I was the "should get it right in the camera and not alter it later" mindset, but I have changed that over the last few years (partly thankful to a local camera club I am with).

I like the angle--I like that the building "follows" the shape of the buildings in the background, but also does not "bump into" them (well, it is close on the left--but fine for me as I like that it just meets the corner perfectly).

I agree about leaving the structure in place, although as you mention perhaps they could be toned down just slightly.

One more thought...this might be interesting in B&W as well.

26 Apr 22 Comment Great shot, great lighting. The water droplets really add to the image, and as Jose said the other spots do not seem distracting to me. The white seems a bit blue to me--might try adjusting the overall white balance slightly warmer if you have not already. Might not look better...and does look great as-is. Apr 9th
26 Apr 22 Comment I agree with the others; great photo, great subject. The "junk" doesn't really bother me--it is part of the scene. I really like the way you included the curved track, and the addition of the clouds is very well-done--it improves the image but looks very natural. Apr 9th
