I barely ever shoot buildings - this was a one-off that I shot while I was at the Getty Center in LA some months ago. It's been sitting in my harddrive ever since, and I just came across it today - so I decided to touch it up.

Now that I got a second look I kind of wish I'd taken more building shots. I like this shot but I wanted to get some more advanced CC from you guys. Does it work for you? What could I improve?

Perhaps you can improve this shot with a cut on the top up almost to the edge in the upper left ot the building.

For me it is a pretty good shot as an abstract. I would stick with that, if I were you, because in a good abstract it is hard for anyone to find a specific failing - either you like it or you don't:lol:
