Architectural Canvas

El Gato

I was walking past an office building and could not resist taking this shot.

The building presented an impromptu, man-made canvas upon which nature painted the blazing afternoon sun.

WHOA. Quite brilliant !!!!!! Mesmerizing, really. It's one of those images that keeps drawing you in deeper and deeper. The framing you do here, like in other instances you've done, really excels in making a great shot even better.

Good and unusual. A few things that might be bothersome if you weren't photographing a reflection are fine here, in my view.

Nice! if mine I would pul up the blacks some for more drama.

Don & Cristóbal...

I agree!

This was one of those quick-snap, "walk bye" shots. I shot the image quickly as I was walking between buildings, without my trusty tripod and not thinking, as a good photographer should, about the final product. It clears a low hurdle for a "general" reflection shot. However, I would have liked to frame it better, get more of the lower half of the tree in the foreground, straighten it some, etc. In post-processing pulling up the blacks would certainly give it more punch for sure.

Practice, practice, practice....

Thanks again Don & Cristóbal!

Thanks Tom!

I try every now and again to add some framing to some shots. Some shots better lend themself to this treatment than others. I try not to over-use the creative framing approach. I appreciate your comments, thanks again.
