The sky doesn't look right on my monitor. Too much yellow and green.

It looks a little yellow on my monitor.

I actually like the composition, the symmetry of the is almost perfect but may be off just a listtle bit (tilted to the left). The color balance is definitely off, unless you were going for a cross-processed look I think you might want to get your monitor calibrated. If cross-processed look is what you were going for I think you succeeded, I'm just not sure it fits the subject matter.

You've got some nice clouds, I'm betting this would make a really nice high-contrast black and white conversion.

I'm with Tom on this one. There are soooo many shots of famous buildings, it takes quite a unique perspective to get something unique and compelling. This just is not a compelling shot to me. Technically, it's very good; good sharpness, good exposure (though color is odd, as mentioned, but that may be purposeful).

So, I guess you'll have to go back someday.

Let's take this image and go completely nuts. Make it something that people will either say "oh no!" or "WoW".
(slow day today, lots of free time)

I do like the composition, but the color is way off. I do like Tom's effort more than the original.

here is my quick play

I agree with I really liking it but the color is off

even an ok snapshot can come to life with some PP.

I should have posted this in the original post, but the color is off on purpose. Your screens do not need to be calibrated. The reason I did it was because, frankly, you're right; the tower has been photographed many, many times. I wanted to add something a little more unique to the photograph by playing around with some post processing elements. I liked the composition, though, and I don't think the image is tilted?

[loana0320]

I get you.... I do not see it tilted on my screen
let me know if you want me to take my play down and I will ;)

But, if you all would like something a little more 'out there', a little more 'fun', try having a glance at these two photographs of mine:

No, not at all! =). I appreciate the contribution. It looks really nice framed like that; I wish I knew how to do it :-p. I've never taken the time to google how to photoshop a frame, but I like it a lot. =)
