Dark sky

I made the picture B&W and gave the sky more contrast by darkening the sky and making the clouds whiter...I think it improved!

Hi svenblom,

First of all, nice perspective and great sky!!!

I think both images tell a different story. With the first I feel like a little kid looking up at a tall beautiful skyscraper on a nice sunny day. The second shot feels darker, perhaps ominous, at least to me. :)

I personally prefer the first because I really like the sky. The second photo's sky looks a little too contrasty to be realistic. Perhaps if you toned down the contrast a little it would be better?

I like building shots....I have none of my own. You have inspired me! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks! Buildings are nice, but it is also hard to make them interesting I think...

I took some more the same day...you can check (and leave comments) at

Looks like you've got some good shots there....and I had forgotten that you were the one with that absolutely fabulous "Erasmusbridge @ Night" shot! :)
