Here are some pics I've losely grouped under the "building" banner. I'm attempting to experiment a little more and try and see things from a slightly different perspective. Please critique away! :D

Morse-code Wall
(well, that's what the bricks remind me of anyway :) )

Interesting stuff K. Like them a lot.

I know where the last two are but the first?

Shavings is probably my favourite.

Sorry - better critique coming up after I run a quick errand...

Hi Manta,
1st pic was shot down the road from my place at Teneriffe. It's the building on the corner of Ann and Something-or-other street, next to the new ANZ bank.

It's the Fujitsu Building, on the corner of Longlands St.
(I live at Teneriffe too!)

I thought it was.

I think you've done well with the composition on that one but I'd be really interested to see it under different lighting situations. Looks a bit harsh at the moment.

The Powerhouse wall shot is probably trying to include a bit too much in one bite. There are a lot of textures and shapes and the eye doesn't really know where to look or settle. A closer crop to highlight the 'morse' look might work better?

Shavings? Well, as I said before, I like this one. It's simple, it's beautifully lit (I don't care about the blown highlights at the rear) and I can almost smell that pine frame. :D

Cricketfan - thanks for the location! I'm not good at street names :oops:

Manta - thanks for the constructive comments. That's what I'm after. Hopefully I'll get some more...... :)

Sorry - should've posted my thoughts earlier:
I like #1, good composition, strong lines.
I agree with Simon on #2
I think #3 has potential, but the background spoils it a bit. Try a norrower crop, or even some guassian blur.
Keep posting. :)

these are good examples of stock photography..... with the second one i'd suggest cropping away just blow the grey block at the utmost top of the image.... gives it a completely different feel in my opionion...

nice....

cheers
