Question Finnish Clock Tower

Obviously I have touched this up a little. I realize it is a little grainy but I think I like it.




Click for bigger version. Thoughts?

I like the way it came out, the grain works with the sky really well. Makes for an interesting photo.

I really like it as well. The color and texture are really nice, and this seems to have a black and white "feel" even though it's a color shot. Very nice.

As a record shot of an interesting clock tower, it makes its mark. The clouds/sky take it a notch higher when compared to similar clock tower shots I have seen. Nice work!

I like the shot!

You admitted to some retouching and I am fairly new to all this but in looking at the clouds in the bottom half of the photo, especially on the left, you can see a pattern from using what I assume was the stamp tool. Maybe a little more randomness (is that a word?) would have helped.

I like that the clouds go all the way, nice concept.

Dan-

(now I will feel silly if the clouds just naturally lined up that way!!)

Hey-- Yes I did clone clouds down there, they actually did go all the way but there was a pesky tree blocking them. I agree, it was kind of a quick photoshop job, need to clean it up.

Thank you everyone for your feedback

I liked it, and couldn't put my finger on what I liked about it, then aadam_21 said it had a black and white feel to it. Then it dawned on me, it looks like a colorized black and white photo.

Nice job.
