Nice.

This shot is good but it will benefit from a little bit more sky and less of the foreground. The first thing I saw when I opened this message are the lines of the building. I thought "zebra"...

Nicely captured Jordan. I like the way the converging diagonals of the two buildings draw you through to the mountain at the back. The light on the clouds adds interest too. Did you apply perspective correction ? It looks like it to me and if so it's done well.

Great shot, Jordan. Perhaps a tad too tight on the top. Did you crop it or was that as far as you could go with your lens? I think the foreground and patterns on each side are awesome. Fantastic texture.

Actually, I didn’t. It is just how an ultra-wide lens like mine 11-16 reproduces the scene.
Not so long ago I wrote in the forum, that I find my Tokina much more useful in enclosed spaces than as a landscape lens.

That's interesting Jordan.

It was as far as I could go back, Murat. The monastery had been built in a rectangular shape and I’m leaning on one of the wings. Could have “opened” the composition a bit on the top, but as I said I didn’t wanted to tilt the lens.
