Hi all!
 
Architecture is one of my favorite genres, but my skills are not good enough.
So before sending the image to curation, I want to get your feedback.
 
This is the Sony Building in Ginza, Tokyo where I took the image from the front.
 
There are several concerns I have:
 
- Synmmetricity: I tried to capture the building from the center, but I couldn't. As a result, the image is not perfectly symmetric.
- Edit: I tried to remove some lights behind the window so as not to disturb the viewers, but I am not sure about the quality. Do you see any flaws?
- Distortion: I had to take a picture from the ground by looking up the building. But I want to edit it as if it looks from the same level, and the distortion is quite big. I myself consider the distortion to add more originality to the building, but want to hear your opinion.
 
Any additional feedback is appreciated!

Hi Kenichiro,

I took the liberty of creating perfect symmetry by mirroring the right-hand side and inserting it on the left. So that you don't notice it immediately, I edited a few prominent points with the Clone Tool.

Wow, that I never think about before!!!!!! I actually prefer the right side of the building so that's perfect. Let me try it in my side a well!!

one more thing ...

 

imo you use a non standard crop format - perhaps you should crop the image to 1:1 format?

Kenichiro,

Only two other suggestions. For me a better balance in your composition. I used in camera raw OPTICS>DISTORTION  to become better horizontals below. And above I made a selection of the upper part and gave a new filling layer blue 14% covering. Theo L.

Thanks Theo for your great feedback. 

The second image is also super cool. 

 

I will think again what I want to show to the audience in this picture.

You are right, I unlocked the ratio keeper and cropped. Let me think again if I want to use the normal ratio

Hi, Kenichiro!

Your image is absolutely full of potential!!!!

Maybe B/W????

Thanks, Miguel,

 

Yes, I am also testing the b/w image for this. 

 

Currently, I am cropping into 1:1 image and try color and b/w by changing distortion. Due to the image size limitation, this is as zoom as I can.
