The composition is excellent

perfect is you remove the left side sticking out building~~~

[espion]

Thanks everyone for taking time to leave your comments. Really appreciate it.

A lil more to the right and the composition would have been immaculate

reason why they WON'T use this photo?.. u can't see the words DHL in from this angle.. hehe

[ronnie_sjr]

Yup I totally agree. Very nice composition, very nice perspective. Only gripe is about the building sticking out of the left frame...

[Zaknafein]

seems like most ppl think that this was a great shot taken with good composition. now im not trying to question anyone here, but as an amateur, i would like to know why this picture gets the thumbs up. just trying to learn, thanks if anyone could point out the good points.

[Zaknafein]

maybe i should share my thoughts on this picture...

there seems to be many subjects in this picture, i always thought its best to keep it to a single subject... or am i wrong here?
also, the picture seems a bit flat to me... hmmm.....

ok, that was my 2 cents. SMEs pls come in now

it's an able attempt in symmetry. i have to say i don't follow the trend here.

you can have as many subjects as you want in a picture. but it's not recommended unless you can organise chaos into a pattern which anyone can follow. 1 or 3 is usually the magic number.

the picture is flat (and tiny might i add which makes for uncomfortable viewing). a better time of day or a curve adjustment might bring out more contrast. and certainly clone out the tips of buildings at the bottom right, that's just untidy.

Hi amsyari, this is not a HDR image.

U can download photomatix from www.hdrsoft.com to generate HDR images.

CS2 can do HDR but i prefers the effect from Photomatix.

Hi Foxtwo, thanks for you comments. Pushing up the curve somemore will burn out the feathery clouds. What i really need is a circular polarizer, which i did not bring along.

I wanted to create a image that makes the viewer 'look up' thus creating the sense of height. This pic is taken at 10mm and at near sunset, which makes the clouds more contrasty.
