Spent quite a few nights trying to capture this structure. Always this closeup and never having the best lens and always handheld. Weather conditions are always a factor and time of day. I always seem to have an issue getting a straight framing but I do believe there are certain parts of this construction that is uneven.

John,
I love the contrasting colours and the blue hour in the first, very nice!

The second is a good image as well, the people mingling around the forecourt with the Marriott sign above make for the basis of a good Architectural advertising shot you just need to do some thing about those lamp posts/street lights. Get down there with the right lens and a tripod and you will have a cracker shot I reckon.

I am interested to hear why you think some elements of the building are not straight and what those are.

Not being able to use Lytebox is annoying. Now I have lost my EXIF option too...right clicking does not produce anything productive to me but save the image as...and I do not want to save any image as...!!! Anyway, moving on....the way I looked at this image, on both it looks like CGI...did you process this image like your black and white in "Click"??? It has a different look from black and white and yet it has the same chunk (I do not know how to describe it properly...) just curious...

Hi Izzie,

I did not convert this image to B & W, I'm sure it'll work especially the second image. I may give it a try.

Hi Robbie,

Thanks for comments and suggestions. I will definitely do more with this scene. I used the left corner of the roof and windows directly to align the image, the second row column seemed to jut outward when I viewed with the grid.

They are appearing on my screen, sometimes I will only see a gray icon but image will appear later.

Really nice images. For image #2, I selected the lady in the gray dress using a NIK Viveza control point and extended to control point circle to include the entire group of people and brightened those people just a TAD which seems IMO to provide a point of interest...

Richard,

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.
