Hi everyone,

I was just browsing through some photos on my computer and came across this photo taken in the Mezquita de Cordoba.
I'd like to hear what you think of it :-)

I really like this. I love how the planes at different depths line up from your composition. And the different lighting and colors all work together. It is satisfies my ocd

Thanks for the reply :-)

This version is a bit higher in contrast and more saturated than the original image, I couldn't make up my mind if I went too far with it. I also have a black and white version which is nice, but I think this is my favourite version.

Nice photo of contrasting lines, I like it. Seeing as this is the critique section I will just add this, it feels a bit busy (in the sense that I don't know what to look at as all the contrasting lines offer a different aspect... could just be me though)

I didn't see this earlier. I like the image as-is. The perspective slant of the foreground bars works well.

The horizontal part of the foreground bars might be a distraction for some viewers. I also wonder if the image in portrait mode looks too tall. Maybe try an alternate crop, keeping everything below the horizontal bar?

I also thought crop it. An alternative way to crop try would be to keep the horizontal bar and the top of the image. Maybe crop just where the stairs (assuming they are stairs) are about to come left again. You would have two sets of horizontal bars splitting the image (the long bar in grey and the half bar in black) in a balanced way. Not sure, but might work.

You have captured a lot of different lines. Beatiful!

Since this thread started over a year ago I feel less guilty about a derailement:

Wow. Everything works very well here. Lines and cold vs. warm colors.

Beautiful composition.

mhrish · 07-21-2018, 08:46 AM

I really like the lines and patterns. I think it is great as is, but I also think it would look really good if the bottom third, where the bright area in the lower left, was cropped off.
