Another of the shots I took on a wander around Birmingham the other day.  I had really gone to take shots of the Steelhouse Lane Nick on its open day, but there were so many people there it was hopeless

I like this - lots of strong geometric shapes & lines.

Nice angle in this one Strav, I like the contrast of the colours of the stonework and the window reflections too.

I like this strong geometric image. Perhaps a slight crop on the left to complete the symmetry? And a mono conversion?

I wondered who would notice.  Here's the thing ........ the shot is perfectly central (I already checked as I was processing) and its those two big lower windows that throw it out.  So if I cropped to bring those windows equidistant to the edge of the shot, the central column wouldn't be directly in the middle  ..... it's one of the things that annoyed me when processing, as I like to get shots like this perfectly symmetrical - I'm assuming I was standing slightly off centre when I took the shot

Agree with Mono too ... I like the juxtaposition of the random  rocks  with the symmetry of the stonework and windows  and  think it may possibly be enhanced in a mono version .

Ooops ..Just seen your previous post Strav...... Do you use the perspective tool in Photoshop ...  ?

I do from time to time ... you think it would have worked well on this?

I think it may  .. I'll give  it a go and  report back  to tell you of the result ... I can pm it to you if it works to see what you think ..

I must admit over the last month or so Ive got lazy as rushing edits and taking pics.  Glad I collected ill relative from hospital today and he's fine, so I can get back to normal.  Sure, give it a go thanks and you can post on here if you like

ok .. Not Perfect  but  maybe a bit better??? ....what do you think ?...

I thought it might require the  adaptive wide angle filter which is the most  amazing tool  but I just used the  crop perspective  option in the end and played with it fraction by fraction ...

It is in effect a small adjustment, but you were right it works well. and pulls it in perfectly. Thanks.  I'll go back and re edit it right from RAW in a few days. Usually when I do these I get them right (I'm sure I suffer from OCD  )

  Glad to hear your relative is recovered enough to leave hospital too ... ..
