What you guys think about this one? Is the light off in any way? Is anything distracting to you guys?

hey there!

Im not sure if its the shape of the building or lens distortion, but the top of it appears to be thinner than the bottom. If is it the building, then no worries - if its lens distortion, I would give it a little photoshop tlc.

otherwise, the composition is good, as is the exposure (done well to keep the detail in the underside of the building without blowing the highlights). i might like to see the sky a little darker but that is just preference.

hope that helps

I think it is lens distortion and you are right a bit of PP might help but it is not bothering me at all. The smaller building at the bottom left i find a bit distracting and the center line on the main building should be straight so a bit of clockwise rotation would be nice.
