Still trying to get that perfect mix of cloud & razor sharp geometry .... maybe needs a little less cloud ... or longer exposure ....

I like the little bit extra that the pigeon has given to it. After working in construction you start to notice how dodgy the finishes to building really are. Bad paint work in poor lighting, panels that aren't aligned, etc. The finish on that building looks dam good.

Nice shot. I think the cloud needs to extend more into the top left corner. (That said..mother nature has to play along.)

I like the image, I think this image has alot more potential too with a little extra process work.

Shoot me a call if you want, just have an idea floating in my head. :)

Thanks all for the feedback so far, really appreciate it when people take the effort to put thoughts into words.

I'll give the guano a cleanup (hey - who knew that the pacific island of Nauru was mostly made up of the stuff until it was strip mined back in the fifties & sixties for fertilizer?)

Matt - happy to get your thoughts on what you've got in mind - lets see if we can get that incorporated as well.....

Nice! Your photos always have a good composition to them.

If you didn't say that you took this at GOMA then it would have been hard to guess where in BNE this was taken.

same image, just with some of the suggestions above (and in PM's) applied.

A bit of smoothing applied to even out the streaking, pigeon signatures removed and some extra puch via a curves tweak as well as a level of grain added to the sky.

I've intentionally kept some of the rain streaking in place as personally I feel it adds character - if its removed, the whole thing comes out feeling too 'plasticky'

Looking good, I'd still love to see a little more vignette on the upper bright portions of the image...

Liking it though, very much enjoying the transition, albeit subtle, makes a difference!
