I went on a photo walk thru downtown Los Angeles with a meetup group today -- lots of great architecture, but here's a couple of my favorite shots .. C&C appreciated.

Super shots. Nice framing in both, though on close inspection the tiles are slanting anti-clockwise in #1 - generally doesn't bother me but you might consider cloning the grouting between the black tiles at bottom left as it makes it obvious. Great colour. At the size posted, I can't tell if the texture on the surface of the legs is sharp...?

#2 is interesting, and I'm not much of a car photo person. I can't help wondering if a little post to bring out the reflection would improve or degrade the result. Once you get past all those pipes and the shock of red, the reflection commands attention but doesn't present enough detail to really satisfy. Still, a good shot for sure.

Cheers, Tony

Love the car. Looks a bit undrexposed. But still a nice shot. i think that would make a great HDR image.

Thank you, Tony .. the "leg" shot was a huge wall mural/sculpture and I didn't even realize there was a building reflection on the fender until I started doing the PP .. I shot in RAW, so I can play with it a bit more to see what I can do with that. Thanks again!

Thanks, Soliz387.. I don't know how to do HDR, but again, since I shot in RAW, I can play with the exposure some more.
