Hi Paul, Not much of a pic, IMO, but such images are kind of nice to have around. One can never tell when they may be useful, and they certainly may have some value historically at some point. However, the photo does bring up an interesting point, and that is the best, or perhaps, most interesting, time of day to make such a shot. With the marquee lights being on, I'd guess that the time was early evening (oh, I see now, just before sunset), but the sky looks a little too bright for that. There are a couple of marquees around here that I'd like to snap, and was thinking that around sunset (a little later than your shot, perhaps) may be a better time, affording a bit of interest in the sky and a darker background to offset and lend more "punch" to the marquee. Any comments?
As for the perspective business, JCO's adjustment doesn't seem at all natural. There should be a little taper to the marquee, and any other tall vertical when viewed from ground level. I may be mistaken, but weren't the columns on the Parthenon build to be a little wider at the top so that when viewed from ground level they'd appear not to taper?
