I love photos of these old buildings. This one is just a little dark.

I like the exposure. It gives you a large ominous feeling. :thumbup:

+1. Processing is great.

thanks, that's my feeling too. If I brighten it up I think it takes away from that.


And I actually didn't have to do any processing in Lightroom, I just rotated it slightly to make it more center.
I took it on Shutter Priority, changing the shutter speed and ISO. This was taken with 1/20sec, 800 ISO, (f/4.5)

I should add it was taken at sundown, which is why there isn't a ton of light coming in through the windows - just good timing

clone the left windows to the right so you can get rid of the 2 people behind the windows.

 

[Mecal]

good idea. I will try this in Photoshop

Gorgeous. Beutiful symmetry and mysterious lighting. :thumbup:

Everyone has opinions.

I like them there, myself.
It's up to you, though. :thumbup:

I think I like the people there...

Their presence make this image more than "structural"- i feel that way

IMO, you were really aiming for symmetry. That's why the people have to go. If you are shooting it in an angle, that is a different story.

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

Sometimes it's nice to have something break the symmetry, that's why they should stay. They are also an added little surprise, while scanning the image.

The edited version is now boring.

Don't worry, someday, Schwetty, you'll learn about the intricacies of composition.
