I quite like it, and the brightening up you did helped. I’m not a huge fan of sepia sort of tones, but it’s nevertheless an interesting shot! At first I didn’t realise you had shot it – since I’d looked through your portfolio before – but I do think you did well. My only nag is I would have probably kept in the corner of the building. It looks like it was cropped out accidentally, being just the tip of the edge. Apart from that, well done. 🙂
Yeah the angle I was at when I took the shot I accidently cut out the corner. I was so focused on lining the fire escape for following the rule of thirds I forgot to angle my camera more to the left. If I had angled it a tad more to the left it would have been perfect i think. I want to go back to this building and take more shots. It was right at sunset so I was losing my light. I am proud of myself though because I took the shot in apature priority mode with manual focus.
Well, in my opinion, you’ve shown great improvement. It’s clear, sharp, and visually appealing to me, so good job. 🙂 Keep it up and definitely, feel free to go back and practice on it to get the framing and a different perspective on it.
