Architecture The Scene Behind

Your thoughts on this are appreciated.

I think it's very good. Abstract and nicely laid out in the frame. One could quibble about the bottom of the frame being busy but it's mostly dark so doesn't really bother me. Besides, it could be cropped out if you wanted and it would still be a great picture. I do think a crop would add to the abstract because what's at the bottom of the frame anchors the composition to the ground. The crop would remove the anchor causing the building to float.

I really like it. I agree with db about the bottom but still good

Thanks for the input guys. Damn Brit, I really like the way you phrased the anchoring/floating bit--perfect analogy. Here's a crop. I really appreciate the input from both of you.

There's a little red object right at the bottom, near the middle, either crop a little more or clone it out.

I dig the first one

I really like the cropped version - simpler, cleaner, and the colors really "come out", great!

I like the simpler look of the cropped one more as well

This is a great shot. I really like the cropped version a bit better as it puts more emphasis on the main subjects in the photo. I also like the amazing colors and contrast in the photo, it really makes it pop and gives it a kind of 3D effect.

Thanks for showing this wonderful photo.

I'd have to vote for the cropped one as well. It's a great image anyway.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The cropped version has been accepted in the PPG. I'm quite sure the input helped with that.

Interesting observation, and I concur.
This picture showed Abstract in its full form. Whether it is cropped or not, both has it sense, IMO. The uncropped one will shows the busy street with people in it but as the topic is Abstract, I will vote for the cropped version.

Cheers.
