a reworking of the original file. the reshoot didn't work. because the surfaces are adjacent, it's swings and roundabouts with the light. this time i've made the actual building dingy and dark -- which it is. and heightened the colour and contrast in the reflection. whereas last time i gave it a green cast which dulled it. i felt i needed to keep the red brick but i've made it very dark. i've also cropped less.

I look forward to seeing the re-shoot. As Chris said, looks like some great potential here.

This has great potential as I think you realise.

If it's practically possible, I would aim to get a good symmetrical balance between the light coloured masonary stone and the glass, dropping the red brickwork altogether. If there's bright sunshine that would be a definite plus, perhaps with the sunlight on the masonary.

Hope this helps,

Chris

i'm not at all happy with this. just thought i'd post it. if i have the right conditions next weekend, i'm going to reshoot. just setting myself a challenge to get this thing to work.
