This is basically a very pleasing photo. To my eye, though, it seems to tilt a bit to the left. I would rotate it to the right by a degree or two. #2402

Thanks for the tip Gerda, I will try that. #3836

Hi, Ray. This is very nice. I agree it looks a little tilted, but I can't decide if it's the entire photo or if it's simply the perspective/lens choice you used when you shot this. I also think you might have a little "much" in this shot. You could zero in on the tallest part of the structure and crop out the fence in the foreground. This would narrow your subject matter a bit, I think, but then this is just my opinion, and you know how valuable my opinion is.... ;^) #3850

Hi Piper, thanks for the helpful tips. I used my 55 MM lens, I shot this on top of the stairs, I would say I held the camera at a bad angle. I Also considerd taking out the foreground in photo shop, it's an eye sore, I will try that. thanks Piper #3860
