Window Reflection...want your opinion of the subject

Taken on a partly cloudy day at the Bonneville Dam visitor center on the Oregon side. I was walking along a path and looked up....this is exactly what I saw. Thought to myself if this comes out just has I see it now it's going to make a really interesting photo ...my opinion I was right. What is your opinion. FYI...took it the lazy way and shot in landscape mode...blame the camera not my lack of technical skills...

Needs a little more work to make it memorable.
A) get some punch into the image.
B) get rid of the little distractions (Corner on right edge in sky, branch reflection in second window pane on right side, interior details in smooth blue sections of window on left side.
C) symmetric cropping seems too static but not sure what would improve it. Also think that black triangle at bottom may be too much relative to sky at top.

I like it, I would just spend some time in photoshop making it pop. I did just that, to show you what I mean, but you could spend a good while on this as I think it has a lot of potential. Well done

i like the one u did mattaura

makes it pop

I like it too.

I agree with black triangle issue too - scroll up the thread and try 'cropping' the photo.

I actually like being able to see the interior features; to me, it's about three different skies, one of which is real and the interior seen through the reflection helps delineate the real deal and the great pretender.

mattaura what did you do to the pic?

redynamix plugin found here: http://www.mediachance​.com/plugins/redynamix​.html you can download a demo, I think it just adds a stamp in the corner of your image...but good to run on your images, to see if it is something you could use. Full version plugin is really cheap (like 15 bucks)

that gives an hdr effect by drastically improving the dynamic lighting...but it does add more noise to the photo. so then I went in with neat image (or any noise reduction software) and played with the settings to get rid of most of the noise.

then some minor changes with sharpening, levels, cloning...nothing too fancy

Thought about trying it as a mono conversion? - think it would work well, good subject for it.

Give Photomatix a try for HDR images with less noise
