Wasn't too happy with the shots I got, but figure I'd post them anyway. Too bad they were doing construction (or cleaning?) on the tower. :mad:

The lighting in the Church was poor, could barely get a decent shot hand held.

I have some others, I might post them later.

Comments/criticisms?

I like #3 you can really see how the tower is leaning. Good work.

Sometimes you gotta take what's given you under the circumstances. I also like #3 here.

Nice shots of interesting places. They may have got the tower wrong, but the flagpole on top is straight. :)

What would be a bit surreal would be to tilt the image so the tower was straight and the building (and people) leaning. :)

Hey nice shots. Can I make a suggestion though? As the weather is overcast, they look a bit depressing in colour. Converting them to monochrome and really working the curves could get some images that really 'pop'. There is lots of inormation in the sky in some of them that could be brought out to create a really powerful atmosphere.

Yeah, I meant to take some pictures like that, but forgot.

Yeah, I did convert some to monochrome, but for reason didn't post any here. Maybe I will get around to it after work.
