Photographer’s Note

In the heart of Calgary's downtown are many different pieces of art which help to define the city in many respects.
Perhaps it was the contrast between the orange of the structure and the deep blue of the sky, but walking underneath of this piece of art, I couldn't leave without a photo. Part of me wishes I would have included more sky and perhaps threw on a polarizer.

It's a very nice piece of art. Nice contrast in colors and lighting against the structure. The sky is beautiful! It would have been cool to see the top of the peice though. Maybe it was too big? Great capture regardless! Oh, Welcome to TE! :)

Hi Brittany, Good contrast and nice details. You have well selected the shooting angle to well made use of the blue sky and the sunlight and its shade. A well taken picture.

Hi Brittany
and welcome to TE!
I don't know if you did any PP on the sky or in the photo generally, but i find it perfect!
personally, i prefer natural colours... polarized photos usually seem so unreal...

Hi Brittany, I like the original thing and bold of your composition, it is an elegant and colorista image that stops to begin this very well.
Welcome to..TE. and I wait for and desire that you follow by the same way.

Good work.

Welcome to TE, Brittany!

This is an interesting picture. Framing works for me, unless the structure is taller than what you saw. Is a powerful architectural shot, and it transmit but power and flexibility.

I like the way you managed shadows. Just be sure to take a few more shots next time, just to let us admire the structure better :)
