I dont think the angle suits this sorry to say and I would have dropped the Exp' a third of a stop, a tad bright for me.

Not sure about the exposure, but I have to agree with Tel, the angle doesn't do anything for me. Sorry.
Getting there! Thanks to you guys

Dave...It made me lean my head to one side to straighten it up, but then I had another good look and sure, it works, for me at least. I like the way the circles work with the tops of the windows in a way that it wouldn't at an upright shot. I love it. You have an interesting eye, young Dave, at least, I think you might be younger the me. regards Ron

I rather like it. The various circular forms look like the wheels of an infernal machine.

Talking about the angle, it donīt convince too much my eyes. Make me think in an aground agonizing ship.

Best regards.

I quite like the odd angle here despite the fact that nothing in the image runs true, I keep wondering if the skew/distort tools in PS could get the horizontals level without changing the angle of the tower too much?

As for exposure, I think its only slightly off, but its still quite good, we have detail in the shadows and yet have no blown highlights, I reckon this would tone down a bit perhaps 1/3 of a stop and maybe the sky a little darker.

Thank you all for your input. I will continue to try out some of my odd ideas in the future.

Sth in it I do like ! The part with spirals.

Maybe, if you leave the tower out - then it will turn more "surreal". So that it makes guessing: what it is.
Now it is too obvious.
