    Bright day, John...Like the cloud formation and colour of the sun striking the buildings, particularly the one with the green windows at the LHS.

    John, the sky is wonderful, as is the colour of the sunlit buildings. Two things detract from the image for me - the odd perspective effect (widening with height - opposite to what would be expected), and the foreground (the barrier and the vegetation). Just my opinions, of course.

    Cheers.

    Re: Patterns

    Nice - I wonder if what captured your imagination for this might have been what I take to be the reflections of the green windows onto the shadows of the nearly-centered building upon itself? Pretty interesting, but I wish there were somehow more of that and less of everything else.

    Hi John, great colours! I looked at your creation enlarged, and a crop would make the picture even more interesting.Your picture quality is there. Concentrating on the buildings and a little "re-dress"=great picture!

    Hi Mark,

    What caught my attention was a combination of cloud formation, light on white building, shadows on center building, and the perspective of the buildings to the left.

    Very nice John. The building on the far left side looks like a water-colour painting to me for some reason.

    Hi John, I would agree with Philip on the reverse perspective giving the image an odd feeling. Otherwise, the two buildings complement each other with the diagonal lines in the left building directing the eye to the reflective sun highlights on the one on the right.
