second effort at Architectural Photography

this is a second image that I thought was a "keeper". Any thoughts on how I could improve this? I am thinking of printing it.

This, and your previous post, are very captivating -- technically perfect. I would categorize them as "Urban Patterns" or "Urban and environmental art" -- as a detail of a building, not a portrait of a building on their own. As an architect, I would love to see these shots as part of a series that more fully documents the whole.

Thanks, I very much like the phrase "urban patterns." It's the abstraction that I find visually appealing

I'd love to see more from you... How about posting in our "Traditional Street and Architectural Photography" section?

Both of the images you posted (this and the previous post) are very nicely done!

The white is overwhelming... perhaps crop to the gray tones portion of the photo only; that's where all the action is. That portion of the photo I find to be an intriguing complex visually that sucks you into a machine.

I like it. I like shots that make me look around and try to figure out what is happening. I’m this case I do get a little stock on the dark triangle in the upper left. But not a biggie
I am also interested to see what other shots you have of this building or similar.

Is it the white, or is it the rectangles that are the problem? If it is the white, would selectively toning down the highlights in that area work? Personally, I do not object to the existence of that area. If it were my picture, I would try toning it down to see whether I liked it better.

Both photos are well worth printing. My fav is the second, great contrasting patterns and forms, nicely diagonal composition.
For the first photo I think the most intriguing part is the lighter area in the background, it adds a surreal aspect to the image.

Verybintriguing. I would go tighter to lose the vast white-ish stone section. Theres plenty going on in the remaining section.
