Pillars and empty benches

Good? Bad? Ugly? The b&w edit is a "preset" , it might be a little too much.

Processing seems fine except the sky as some stuff gong on.

IMO, it's not really good, bad or ugly. As it stands, to me it's a nicely planned record shot of an empty waiting platform. You have the repeating pillars, but it stops there. I think if you would have had a single individual sitting at the far end on the bench, it would have given the photo a purpose. Like your benches, this just leaves me feeling kind'a empty.

I agree with Rick on this one. There's nothing particularly wrong with the shot, and I see what attracted you to take it. Lots of geometric lines, repeating pillars, shadow. I think you lined it up nicely with the pillars at each edge of the frame. But there is nothing else particularly compelling going on here. As far as the processing goes, the sky is full of strange halo effects, squared off edges and is generally so uneven it looks processed - not what you're after, I'm sure.

But I think you have a good eye for what has potential. Keep shooting!

Yep, sky.

Additionally, there is some barrel distortion and it needs straightening.

As for the preset, I think it is fine.

Thanks guys. I'll try a different preset b&w edit and play around with it a little. I don't like the weird sky (didn't notice how yucky it was), and the pillars in the immediate foreground now bother me being "bent"
