    New Energy Centre in Woking, UK

    The first processed image of a visit to this colourful new structure in my home town.

    I like it, and in this case, I like that the perspective isn't corrected. The diagonals make it more interesting.

    Hello Peter. I like the processing. When I look at it, I see shapes arranged on a canvas. The arrangement doesn't work for me. Yet oddly enough, if I turn the image 90 degrees, the relationship of the shapes falls into a more visually appealing arrangement—just my observation.

    This structure is interesting to me due to its shape and colour. But a "clean" image of it without any distortion is frankly quite boring. I aimed for an image where the orange tanks dominated the frame, so an ultra-wide angle lens of 15mm was my choice. I also realised that I would have to point the camera up. I knew this would give me a lot of distortion and accepted that. I realise it wont be everyone's cup of tea and that is fine.

    Here is a "boring" version . Forgive the smaller picture.

    Sometimes being "technically" correct does not suit he situation. In my mind you made the right decision. I love the image as originally presented!

    Bo or Barbara - I'll answer to both!

    The distorted version works for me, it gives an impression of size and power.
    And the strong colours add to the image
