michaelabudd, Welcome

Well done, and if you do post processing, rotating counterclockwise a few degrees will just take away a minor distraction.

Default Saturation

Hey --

I love the composition of the photo. I wonder if it would be improved a bit if you got a bit more colour out of the orange and blue bits on some of the signs and panels.

If you do post-processing, maybe a significant tweak to saturation, a small one to contrast, and then a local contrast enhancement? The local contrast enhancement might push some of the highlights toward blown, in which case you might do it on a separate layer and play with opacity and blending modes.

I really like this shot....architecture has always caught my eye...nice job.

I wish you could get in line or slightly off canter from the row of light bulbs and take a shot down the row, now if only we could all fly!

I like the minimal colors here, seems more industrial and accentuates the glass and steel, which I like. If it were me, I would see if I could remove the people from the shot completely, and the red object on the outside that you can see through the glass and make it that much cleaner.

Lovely shot. One thing that strikes me is that it's remarkably free of noise, considering it was shot at ISO1600. Did you remove any noise in post-processing, and if so, how?

Is it still missing? I can see it fine but it has been resized to fit the forum rules - I'm not quite sure of the mechanics of how that is done but that may be the root of any problems.
