Thoughts on these two?

[dtzitko]

I went out for a bike ride through Forest Park and threw my camera on my back. This was my favorite. I also saw a couple odd looking characters operating a trebuchet. It was kind of weird. Anyway, C&C?

Crap. Mods can you change the subject to "Thoughts on this one?"

Here's the trebuchet too. Kind of funny.

The building is kind of cool, what is it?


I know it is not easy with standard lenses, but I try to get the angle such that the vertical edges are as parallel to the camera as I can. I know the closer to the building the harder that is. I also understand some try for that angle.

The sky is a nice color too, is there any PP on this shot?

My photos don't do it justice. It's really something else at sunset, when the rays are shining through it.

It's like a greenhouse or something. I'm not entirely sure. Here's a link though.

Yes there is PP. That's partially why the sky is so nice looking. I bumped up the vibrancy bar in Aperture and a few other things.
