Agreed with above. Maybe rotate it a bit, and run it through the lens correction tool in Photoshop if you have it.

Agreed. Tighten up and lose the windows on edge of frame, since they are half gone already.

I think it would be a stronger composition if it didn't have the two half-windows on the sides. Since the focus of the photo is naturally on the light features, the windows distract the eye. You can fix this by cropping them out or using a vignette feature to dim the edges a little and bring those bright features into prominence.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I have two updated versions. One cropped, and one with a vignette added. Also they've been rotated a bit. Tell me which one you think is better.

You need to feather the edge of that vignette! It still isn't straight either... what program are you using?

Don't get me wrong, its still a good shot!

I disagree with this - by tightening up the shot, you lose some of the depth perception that the windows help give the shot, IMO.

photoshop perspective, distort and crop are your friends, and rules and guidelines make cleanup easy!



I have to agree that the windows on the side help fill out the space a bit more. Problem is that if you're going to do rotation and/or perspective cleanup afterward, you can assume you're going to lose data on the sides (such as how I had to forfeit some pixels of the side windows on your shot). So whenever I feel like I'm going to be doing post on a particular photo, I tend to try to have 5-10 percent more FOV than I want, so that when I crop I don't have to sacrifice information for nice cleanup.

If you want to protect the locations you love to explore, don't talk about them online in public!
If you want to make exploring friends, send people private messages! Meet up in real life! Get off the internet!

Since everything I WAS going to say was already said .. I think you just need crazy dudes in gas masks looking through the windows with a few shirt-less tatt'd up models wander around in tight pleather. That'd been awesome!

Seriously though for a 1-off post, think you did well sir!

Don't forget about the raptors driving some tricycles.

j/k, the last edit in here is good.
