This was taken at Frank Ghery's Seattle music hall of fame. Very impresive building skin that is very suggestive to our cultural perception of technology.

Oooh very nice. Interesting lines and curves

I might burn in the bright area at the mid top edge and dodge the highlight on the rounded part in the middle part of the image.

aside from that....very nice capture! :highfive:

Thanks for the suggestions Marko... I can see what you mean, this definitely brings the 'wing' into the foreground. Is this what you see?

Nice colors, shapes and lines.

One thing though, it feels kinda chaotic and wont let my eyes rest. Might be because the center of the lines is in the center of the picture, you could try to crop it a bit. Another idea could be to introduce some more sky or maybe an angle which would give the eyes something to follow.

Yep - I'm in agreement with Fante's suggestions...

Second version is definitely an improvement, but I think Fante's hit it. Lots of leading lines, but nothing for them to lead the eye to.

I just did a bio project on him... this is a great shot.

I like shot 2 mpykalo! The burn works. Now we are talking details but imo another 5-10% on the burn couldn't hurt.

The dodge is also nice but I think I'd dodge it all the way toward (or at least try it to see if that works) the sky so as to have the curved highlight lead toward the sky. For me the 'wing' is the focal point of the image.

Hope that helps - Marko

Yes that's definitely improving... this image is very challenging

I think this is a much better rendition!

Do others feel the same? Thanks - Marko
