Geary Building Manhattan NY

This shot is looking up at the Geary Building in Manhattan.... Thoughts...? I am new to this....jim

Wow amazing building - looks like a photoshop accident!

A bigger image might help us. Looks underexposed to me.

Martin...how do you get a bigger image ? The file size to attach wants it so small that I can't figure out what to do to enlarge the photo?

Appreciate the 'underexposed' comment too.... jim

I must admit I don't normally use the attachment method - I usually link to photos on my website. I recollect you can upload bigger images - about 800px wide seems about average. i assume your original is muchbigger - you presumably need to resize it. See the rules too.

this building is unreal! Is this what it really looks like ?

I've seen badly distorted lenses before, but you must have several elements that have bulges on them to make a straight sided building be shaped like that.

Actually, it makes a nice abstract. You were fortunate to have been looking up.

Interesting building! Unless I'm mistaken (and I usually am), I think that's a building by the architect Frank Gehry.

As far as the photo, I think that with a straight-on architecture shot like this it's important to either preserve the symmetry of the building or totally break it. In your photo the building is just a little bit off center left-to-right (judging by the straight lines), and it would look better exactly centered. The vignette in the upper left corner also detracts from the symmetry.

Otherwise I like the idea. You've decided to capture a relatively small area of detail at the top of the building rather than try to show the whole building, and I think your approach works. An even more tightly framed detail shot might make an interesting abstract.

Yes. ...Gehry...not Geary....my error but...I am planning on going into Manhattan this weekend to visit one of my daughters and will take a better shot of this, more centered.... will see how the light is since I am aiming 'up'.... will post... thanks for all, jim
