I like #1, #2 seems overexposed, if thats the right term.What are you using this photo for? Just curious.

[crashnburn]

I would take the first over the second it is over exposed and you lose alot of the detail from the building.

[jcambece]

number 1 for sure

beachgirl : i am using this photo to practise PP. heh. learnt some techniques from martin for mono conversion.

to the rest.
thanks so much! i kinda lean towards no. 1 too:)
heh

Martin eh? Shouldn't it have even MORE contrast?
High radius, low amount... over and over.
Something like this... actually, Martin probably would have taken it another step.

[RAitch]

Cool shot BTW... it's leaning in a bit... but that's alright.
I think you can get away with a crop to get rid of the lean... but you'll have to lose the right tower.
I like the shot!

Rich I like your version. But the comp.... whats wrong with the lines here? The oblique of the main building in center frame is just not a good look.

[RAitch]

It's leaning in... but as I said, it's alright... and I don't mind it.
What's an oblique? That detail piece that's way darker than the rest on the corner?

[Carzee]

Well I meant the symetrical POV, the corner angle.

I like number 2. It may be a bit overexposed... but the first looks washed out to me.
