Good Monring Texas Tech U Photo

Photographer’s Note

Cannot believe I did not take a look at this picture for a year. Now that I pulled out my old folder, and thought wow this is a nice one of my work. So I decided to post it. It is the official tower of Texas Tech University, a symbol of this university. Last year I taught in the morning, and so I have to be at school by 7Am, and I had a lot of chance to picture things in the morning when people are sleeping ;-)

Hi Sothy,
Sometimes the best ones are the ones we have hidden under the mattress :))
This is an exceptional shot. Using the tree branches as a window to view the university tower was a very good choice. The light on the tower enhances the beautiful warm colors. This picture has excellent sharpness and depth.
Well done my friend.
Take care

Hi Sothy,
Wonderful shot! Lovely colors. The POV you've chosen here is excellent. The tower framed by the banches looks really good.
Well done,
Shaeri

Hi Sothy,
Good idea to frame this building at the morning blue hour, expo and colors are fine, sharpness is good. I may have cropped some of the left side to off center the subject a bit and to reduce a dark area.
I'm going soon to Cambodia... ;D

It's blur for 1st layer and clear at the back. I love the way u present the main subject.

Hello Sothy,

A very beautifully framed image of the tower at TT University. (Is that where Bob Knight, the famous, controversial, gifted basketball coach just retired from, having set a record for number of career victories?) I believe, the photograph should be just slightly rotated, perhaps incrementally 0.2°, clockwise. I learned the hard way, when I posted an image last year, and had not made that crucial correction. Norber Woehnl let me have it, and he was right. Take a look at Cherry Blossoms. But your photo is a wonderful one anyway, and unlike mine, almost straight.

Warm regards,
Bulent

Interesting composition, very mysterious with the fuzzy trees in the foreground. Love the overall feeling. Great work.

Hi Sothy!
I see you still have a lot to show from that place.The tower is beautiful and you framed it very well with the trees. Colours are very good.

hi Sothy
this is a beautiful photo, nice focus on the bell tower, and the big aperture gives a nice blur..
the eyes are led to the main subject: the bell tower

well done

Great thought putting the building inside your frame.
your texture might be a little grainy because of the high ISO level.
I think a tripod would be necessary and would give you better quality results.
Either way you succeeded :)

Many Regards
Stelios

Hello Sothy
Thats a nice place. You could have fooled me that you went to Europe with this building. It looks like an old spanish church. THe framing is right on using the trees to frame the church.
Nicely done
Regards
Daniel
