I agree it's not a particularly interesting shot, but it is a beautiful building and I managed to get the perspective correct without a TS lens :P

Nov 04, 2010 20:33 | #8 Not particularly interesting in the sense that it is a picture of a building (beautiful as it may be) taken in the morning, that's about it. "Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships." - Ansel Adams

I'd clone the birds out though, but just my opinion... and that from someone who spends too much time taking pictures of birds! 60d, 400d, 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6, 24-105mm f/4, 50mm f/1.4, 580ex II, 2 X 430ex II, Bowens 500, cs5

I think the tree adds some variety to the shot, breaking up the stark white of the building. Maybe in a different angle this would be more prominent... Canon 30D, lots of things to go with it
