I'm not convinced. I feel somethings missing but have no idea what. Please help me on it. Bad composition? Boring subject? I dunno..

The perspective is too extreme, it doesn't draw me in at all.

If I was really created in God’s image then when God was a boy he wanted to grow up to be a man, a good man, and when God was a man, a good man, he started telling the truth in order to get honest responses.

If the building were less prominent (maybe less saturated?), you might make a good case for positive/negative space between it and the clouds. The building itself also has some interesting shapes you could play around with and emphasize (depending on how much you'd want to change).

As it is though, I agree, the building dominates too much of this pic from this angle. I'd almost want to see a little bit of distortion on the building from such a close up angle to help push the point that the building's made up of wacky shapes.

it has potential to be a good shot. shooting it at different time of day, like late afternoon during "golden hour" i think would give a better feel and lighting.

What bother me is the glare and the blowout on the glass, and i wish the building was shot more evenly symmetrical. I totally dig the extreme angle, though.

it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

I think its pretty cool. The biggest thing bothering me, however, is the positioning of the building within the frame. I think you've cropped it too far to the right... There is far more of the right bottom corner cut off than there is on the left, and that slight patch of brick at the left corner amidst the glass is distracting. I would have liked to have seen it evenly balanced.

Otherwise, its a neat subject. I like the color a lot.

Could have used a polarizing filter to bring out the blues in that bright sky. That would have cut the glare though...

true. I dont have one yet for this lens.

@ positivepressure: I didnt crop it. I think I was simply standing on the wrong spot. I'll see if I can take another, evenly extreme angle, but better composed. I took this one in a hast while walking by.

thnx for comments! Other pic will follow.
