The shot has a lot of impact, and I particularly like the building. However, the sky looks overdone and a bit 'glitchy'. #167868

Thanks, Shirley. I agree, the sky could have used more fine tuning.
What is "glitchy"?

I tend to agree with Shirley that this is a great capture of the building but the sky is out of whack. Now I like shots that are tweeked in ps but this sky doesn't seem to work in this case. Love the building though!~:O) #770485

Great shot Rob..
I really like the colors and shapes in the shot.
I think that the sky sort of looks weird is because of the black clouds with the blue sky.. its sort of weird and the clouds looks sort of fake. #770487
