The Vanishing Point

Nicely edited. Cool comp.
I would also like it just as well if the tower pointed "up". I can't decide if there is a benefit to having the tower pointed "down".

Darn fine shot!

I like the edit of this "big gun". But I think I would prefer it turned 90 degreees counter clockwise.

The processing looks great.  I would make the image upside-down, but then the geometry looks a bit too normal.

Just leave it like it is. Geometry, Edit and colorisation are fine. Love it, keep posting quality shots like these.

I keep going back to the photo.
It attracts me realy. It's really nice!
But that doesn't mean that I don't get dizzy still

+2!  Lovely image - great processing and color treatment.  Love your framing in the final presentation.

After I pick myself off the ground ... I can respond. Well Done! The angle and framing has upped the drama and impact. The image is so strong that it doesn't need all the redness to be successful. In a way the red distracts from the strong visual lines and angle/composition. To me ... I am attacked by the tower looming overhead and I am compelled to concentrate on perspective ... at the same time all the red jumps up and down and my cream-cheese brain shifts between perspective and color, between ... am I safe being under the tower and mmmh ... where did all that red come from ... is it natural ...

I'm not saying the red is bad ... I am saying that there are two different stories being projected by the image, both stories are very strong ... and for me it is a bit hard to concentrate on one single story. Again, there is nothing wrong with multiple strong stories in a single image ... I am, for what it's worth, just sayin' how I see the photograph.

In any case this is a well crafted photograph, thank you for sharing.

Thank you everybody for your encouraging comments.

Thank you Gary for your in-depth analysis. I appreciate your point about color in this image very much, especially after seeing your strong work in B&W. I will have to step outside of my comfort zone and try to visualize "the big picture."

Peter, do what works for you. No one person's vision is necessarily better than another's. I just wanted to show a different perspective. The red does heighten the drama ... but to my eyes ... at a cost of distraction. While the image is quite monochromatic now, I think a straight B&W may significantly lower the impact. But the proof-is-in-the-pudding. Try a B&W and see what you see ... you may even want to try a sepia, a middle ground between red and B&W.
