Re: Have given this a far different treatment than I normally do
Why did you decide to go with such a dark green sky? Neither the colour nor the brightness setting fit with the buildings.

Re: Have given this a far different treatment than I normally do
At first glance it looks fine but then the mottled green takes over. A very unnatural composition as the buildings have an animated look to them. Chances are that others will like it as well as you, I do like the architectural portion of the shot.

I was going to visit NZ in the spring, Jim, although now that I see what it's like over there, maybe not!
Joking aside, I agree with John. I'd also add something that I heard somewhere - "Creativity knows no boundaries".

Re: Have given this a far different treatment than I normally do
Like John I like the architectural part but I still like that you crop is back from the left side where the rain water drain...

The sky is ash-green, not green... so i just feel a storm with heavy downpour warning.... i liked it . The only thing i am not much happy is the slanted roof in the right bottom corner

I kinda like it. It is more artistic than realistic so it won't be for everybody. In this case I think the roof in the bottom right adds to the image.

Re: Have given this a far different treatment than I normally do
I like it. It's an image about shapes and tones and I think it works.
Onlt think I'm not sure about is that bit of tree on the right-hand-side

Re: Have given this a far different treatment than I normally do
Agree with Donald the tree on the right might go. Never crossed my mind that the sky didn't fit. It's a beautiful bg for the building colors.
