Critique Welcomed History Of Modern

[Chris Dodkin]

Spotted this today - I visited this building in Orange County CA for a meeting

X-T1 and 56mm Lens @ f/8

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Modern what? Very nice shot, Chris. So, the 56mm lens isn't just for portraits. That's all people seem to talk about with this lens, but this looks great.

 

[Pete Askew]

Love the limited colours here and what great lines.

 

[Brian Moore]

Nice, Chris. What building is it?

 

[Nick Lukey]

Mmm very tasty great colour and form, that's a winner for me

 

[Dave Green]

That messes with my eyes!

*Squint

I like it

 

[Beth Carter]

wonderful use of lines in the comp., esp. the reflection of the lines from the building in the windows.

It's a tribute to Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark, Rob - The lens is cracking stopped down to f/8 - really nice

Love the limited colours here and what great lines.

Thanks Pete - spotted it on the way into the meeting - shot it after I came back out, and the light was just right - did a perspective correction in PS

Nice, Chris. What building is it?

Thanks Brian - it's just off 73 in Aliso Viejo - next to the Pacific Life Building

Mmm very tasty great colour and form, that's a winner for me

Thanks Nick - the sky was really nice as we have storms heading in producing some high cirrus patterns

That messes with my eyes!

I like it too, but would like to see such a graphic one in black and white where I think it shall excel.

 

[Tom Dunne]

.... and well spotted too. Gosh, the edge of that building looks like a razor cutting through the sky; I feel this gives the great initial impact. Ivar mentioned B/W; not too sure really as I would hate to loose sight of that nice aqua marine colour of the interior.

I am not too sure either Tom, but maybe it's worth a try?
