Really nice light. It looks almost like a computer render.

King said 550 days ago:

Good idea and well composed. Could use a bit more sparkle or color or contrast or something to add a bit of punch.

ChriZ said 550 days ago:

Distraction,
today was a real sunny and warm day! So the light was great! And it was fun going out there again! So, I wasn't making this image today in my tomb!

King,
Sparkle, how would you do this to not make it look cheesy...
Well, I especially put in the clouds for you already ;)

King said 550 days ago:

ChriZ...You added clouds?...Great! There should be reflections of the clouds in some of the windows, don't you think? That may be difficult to do well, but it could be done.

I have a shot where I added reflections of clouds in the windows, but no clouds in the sky and it worked very well...I'll send it to you offline if you want to see it.

By sparkle, I mean that although you have some very nice highlights, there is not a single specular highlight or a pixel that is pure white, so the tonal range of the image is compressed, or flattened.

These are not criticisms so much as observations. I gave this image high marks and I expect to see it featured. Congratulations. Well done.

Thanks!
I'm always happy to learn from you, and also earn some, good crits =)
I actually did add reflections in the mirror! The easy way though (mirroring)... If I probably had invested a bit more time, it could have gotten better, but reflections... you don't miss em if you they aren't there, once they are there, you can't live without em...

Let me see what unnaturally natural cloud reflecting image you created!

I see that I already posted the shot to my website, count down thirteen thumbnails to the hotel building, all in blue:

I like your photo very much as is, but do you think it would work using this alternative technique for adding clouds?

ChriZ said 550 days ago:

Yep, I totally see what you mean!
It could use a lot more depth! It seems a bit flat after looking at the reflections of the Reunion Plaza...
So yes, it could use this alternative technique! First I will have to catch more clouds though ;)

Tom said 550 days ago:

Interesting, symmetrically unique....and for my taste it's a stunner.
