I'd love any opinions on this... it's far different than my usual architecture stuff. Last time I went out I took some shots that were much more straight forward than what I usually do (using a 50mm lens instead of something really wide just to see how it went), and I found it can be just as fun as taking crazy shots of the same places. It helps to focus on the form and look of the building more. Still I'm not sure of what to think... or if I'll keep this up. I liked everything about it, the only thing I'd change is how bright it was outside; which created some shadows that may or may not add to the shot. I might try doing 50mm stuff at the fair once it comes, in the square format; so this is a but of practice too.
Minor update-Updated the tones a tad, to try and take away some of the blue-ish highlights (or at least tone them down a bit). CommentsI like it Shawn.. the patterns that the light, shadows and structures make , give this a lot of interest
-- SAVE THE HOUSEBOAT! [link] the patterns on the shutters and such are what make the photo interesting. it's different, but i like it all the same.
-- Avatar made by *Kezzi-Rose Well done! I love to change lenses because it gives me a different perspective on everything. You've composed this shot nicely and I like your editing of it, as well!
-- "Uncertainty is the essential, inevitable, and all-pervasive companion to your desire to make art. And tolerance for uncertainty is the prerequisite to succeeding." David Bayles and Ted Orland For some reason, I can't stop looking at this. I think it's the shadows that hold my attention. Even though this hotel looks creepy and abandoned, the shadows make it look kind of... pretty? I don't know. It's just interesting, I guess.
-- Today, the whole world came crashing down on me, so I got some tape and stuck the map back onto the wall. There is nothing to worry about this one, it's perfect as it is!! I suggest you Shawn to send it to =lifeiscreative's 50 mm blog

part of this picture's strength to me are the shadows which can be seen both on balconies and upon the walls. It really balances dark and bright tones.
Also I found very humoristic and smart the presence of the Parking Machine in front the main door. Who would park his car and stay in this hotel ? Neat shot, great job
I also like the fact that it was taken with a 50mm although your work with widerl lenses is amazing, a normal lens conveys reality much better than a wide one.
The color temperature is what brings me a bit off on this image, its just to bluish. I also like the parking machine, its just where its not supposed to be, but it adds something a bit of depth I think.
