Default The Cathedral

Below is a picture of Singapore's St. Andrew's Cathedral. known for it's method of building using eggs and flour.

Tried to capture an olden day feel considering now a lot of buildings look futuristic. Thus i edited the picture to give this feel and the weather that day worked for the shot too (personal feeling).

would love to receive Cs & Cs so to make this photograph better =]

Hi,

The building looks cramp up to me. Maybe it is due to the fact you shot in landscape. It will be nice if you can shoot in portrait. You have a wide angle lens? Other than that, I think it is pretty well done. Good job!

your second image is made from an entirely different angle and will be regarded as a different image from your first. do note that we have a 1 image per week rule here. 2nd image is removed.

Would it be better if the right-most 15% of the picture is cropped away?
I find that it is taking away the focus from ur subject.

I like the feel of the picture overall except that it's a little cramp. (The tip of the building touching the edge of the photo - should have given more space or sth)
Perhaps next time you could try taking the right building alone without the left buildings, and show more of the sky? Heh but nice shot anyway, I like the effects you did for it alot too.

too tight, the building looks as if it is distressed to me
the tallest column is obviously the most interesting feature here - emphasize it, and don't need to include that extra stuff on the right

since you already are going to get vertical distortion, why not make it go all the way, and do something like this.. there are not many good wide views of st andrew's due to the huge amount of ugly trees around it
