As with the first, I am hoping for lots of suggestions. http://thornsberry.smugmug.com/gallery/64097/1/3095033/Medium Before posting the picture, I rotated it slightly and applied a light skew to get the tipping out of the chapel. In retrospect, maybe it has a little lean to it which I should not have altered. >Thanks for your help. Kevin, you are really cropping your buildings awfully close -- in both #1 and #2. I.E. Running them very close to the edges of the frame. I think if one is shooting buildings, either show all of them (all the sides) or show only part of them (just sections that are more close up). This one, I think, also needs much better lighting to make it more interesting -- I prefer late day myself for highlighting and stronger contrast between the light and dark areas. And if it is out in the middle of nowhere (I think I read that), then showing the nowhere around it could make it look lonely or forlorn. Just suggestions, I am not big on photographing buildings, myself, though I have done some. More experienced building shooters may have better ideas. But I think sometimes the surroundings are just as important as the buildings. Especially if they are older buildings out in fields or something similar. You might take a look at some of Ansel Adam's barn type building shots for ideas. Marnie aka Doe
