Beautiful compoced, very good light and coloring, the only thing is the little part of tree in left side sky should not be there. Regards Kaj Nielsen

The choice of focal length and point of view works well for this picture. Although not terribly original, the use of the perspective as leading lines towards the main subject works well too.

However, the composition a bit in-between: it's not quite symmetrical, nor is it well asymmetrical. I think you would have done better either to move slightly to the right and crouch down to obscure the extenstion of the building to the right, making a strictly symmetrical composition, or moved clearly to the left, possibly with a landscape format, and created a triangular dynamic with the perspective going from bottom right towards center left, balanced by the wing of the building on the right. As it is, I would also have left out some of the sky -- the near-central positioning of the subject is unnecessarily static.

The lighting isn't fantastic, but I assume you didn't have much choice there. At least the sky has some texture to it. Maybe B/W with a heavy dose of red channel would've worked for it?

Overall, the picture is nice but not terribly memorable. It's something of an obvious picture to take at the site. Next time, try doing something crazy with the viewpoint -- to the side, up, down, far off, or close up.

Thank you Petteri and Kaj, very useful your comments. i"ll try better next time!!

I agree with Petteri about the move to the right. Another factor where you could improve in my opinion, however I know we can't do this everytime is to choose a better time to get the photo with a more dramatic light. But remains a very good photo.

Olá Ricardo:
Gosto da suavidade das cores e da perspectiva como o seu olhar registou este espaço.
Parabéns.

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for your nice comments, did you know I am a big "Loreena Mckenit" fan? Ver observing of you to make that connection in the mind. About this picture: I just love the colors, the background is in such harmony with the subject! Just wonderful!

Subha Pindiproli   {K:10108} 6/19/2003
this shot.. ricardo.. has the perfect symmetry.. beautifully done.. i wish they had the classic old style lamps on either side.. that way you could have got a wonderful dusk or dawn shot.. as well..
