Odd angles

I quite like number two, although it probably would benefit from converting to B&W and darkening the clouds.

No.1 for me. I think the lack of a 'killer' Mike referred to is a contrast issue. Really harsh contrast would emphasise the sraight lines of the structure and add to the image's strength. The tilt is good, it looks like the last hours of the Titanic but the curtains let it down, they are hanging at the wrong angle.

Tim,

Tried a BW and didn't like what I ended up with, tried it as a duo tone and I'm not sure I like it any more. Operator competence issue on my behalf I think.

Thanks for trying i-Berg! I like the dark green of the metalwork, but not so sure about the whitened sky.

When I have some free time I might fool around with replacing the original sky with something a bit more dynamic.

I like both. Anyway, if it's impending madness, i am totally mad, because i like all kinds of strange line, arch and form.

Thanks everyone!

David I will have a go with upping the contrast on the sinking ship shot, thanks for the advice!
