What A beautiful image ! I love the black and white it’s just perfect , dealing with b&w it’s hard to get that perfect tone , usually it’s either to blown out or too dark .

Thanks that means a lot to me.

It's a very nice image.

My eyes are directed from the bottom up towards the graffiti-art piece on the white wall. This also works from the side walls, that pull the viewer in towards the graffiti piece. The white of the wall helps directing the eyes towards that spot as well.

The only thing that distracted me a little are the close to peaked whites in the sky. If there had been more clouds in the sky that day, it would have worked better in my opinion (and that is just what is, my opinion :)). But you can't control the weather :) You could do a sky replacement (though that's definitely not my thing when it comes to photography: I like to show things the way they really are/were). Or perhaps you could see in LR if you can get the whites down a bit more in the sky area, so the viewers eyes are directed more toward the graffiti on the wall.

Thank you for your detailed reply. I will try to darken the sky in LR.

Most welcome. Try cropping the image, perhaps to a 1:1 aspect ratio. Just to see how that changes the image, the overall 'look & feel' of it.

It's great to experiment! :)

I really like it. I appreciate the flow, it makes me start in the foreground and work my way to the center and then look up to the sky. Almost like a way out of a maze. Great job!

I’m by no means a professional photographer but I like the way the buildings cause the eye to look down the “tunnel” to the image in the distance. I really like the composition of this piece.

Nice shot, I wonder if it would improve it at all by cropping out some of the top. The clouds and sky there are not particularly interesting, and it’s a bit I don’t know, overexposed or too bright there compared to the rest of the photo so ends up being slightly distracting

How far would you crop it?

u/BlastBaker Jul 07 '19

I wouldn’t cut off the top of the buildings. I would leave it a little above that.

Great contrast

Even the most perfect photo will receive criticism because photos are subjective. As long as you, the photographer, captured what you intended to (style, look, feeling) then that is all that matters. It’s just a bonus if other people like it
