This is something completely new to me, as i never take photo's of buildings. I'm more into landscapes to be honest, but feel i should 1. Expand my horizons, and 2. Get to know my new camera.

Any crits appreciated, and be as harsh as you like! :D

Bracknell. Worked there for a year last year.

Nice perspective.

This is a pretty decent shot, and a good mono conversion, excellent tonal range. I would be proud if it were mine.

BUT, you should go back and ask yourself, "What here contributes to the shot and what does not?" then crop accordingly.

I feel for you... hehe!

I was thinking about cropping to the left of the white building, to remove the building that i've cut in half. I didn't like the branches coming straight down in top left though, so i just let it be.

I love the shadows on the top of the subject building. You have a great shot here and an excellent choice of conversion. Thumbs up.

Good shot! I would do a little more playing around in PS. Have you tried the channel mixer and contrast masks to make adjustments? Sharpness could be improved. I'd use selective sharping useing filter masks (HPF, Edge, RGB, etc.) It would have been nice to have something in the lower part of the foreground too, something of human interest.

Very nice. The design of the building makes for many interesting photographic angles. I'm sure a whole series of shots could be made of it.

Thanks alot for the comments! ;)

I agree about the sharpness, i think i need to look up some tutorials on sharpening in Photoshop, as the only time i messed with that it looked awful. I haven't really played with the channel mixer or contrast masks either... There's always so much more to learn with Photoshop, it's never ending! :D
