Angles, light and shade - but no tattered cover?

The Tattered Cover is the name of an independent bookshop in Denver which is housed in this building. Sorry, I should have explained!
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I like the way you've selected the shapes and angles to create a perfect architectural abstract.

I do like arcitectural details, Kris. And they're nearly always better on modern buildings. Excellent control of highlight and shadow detail.

Nice angles, and good detail as Andrew has noted, but I'm afraid they just don't do it for me. The building isn't interesting enough! The curved canopy thing might be an exception, but it's quite soft and too black, although there are some nice highlights on the lower part of it in number 1.

I always think abstracts (of anything) are marmite photographs: you either love them or hate them. I don't mean you love or hate abstracts per se but that each individual shot will invoke quite varied responses. The one I had accepted to the magazine met with varied responses including "what is it?" and "oh..."
These two shots started life as photoshop exercises when I was learning BW conversions and correcting perspective (horrible converging verticals in the original shots) but in the end I grew quite fond of them. Then promptly forgot all about them!
Best wishes, Kris.
