    The sky is beautiful captured through the skylight, lovely colours. The skew composition is a bit distracting though.

    The warm colours in The Dancer are very attractive.
    Who knew Chorley could be so attractive!

    Welcome back. Both shots are very eye catching. The second is is the best one, but I like the abstract colours of the first, even if the big mass of colour on the left throws the picture off balance a bit.

    An interesting read as always. The tunnel shot is my pick from this set, along with the dancer.

    What a fascinating place, pretty sad that nobody has a use for it. It would make a great concert venue. Certainly is was designed to impress and project the power of the state.

    You made a really good documentation.

    A really nice idea for a photograph.

    But may I say that it needed some horizontal keystone correction in post, to get the top and bottom sides parallel. I have this problem quite often and I correct in post.

    Yes, Chris' image is fairly quick and easy to fix in post as shown in the link I posted earlier.

    Yes, but only from a safe distance. Two miles is usually good enough, although further is generally better ;-)

    I like all your images but I just feel this one is lacking a bit because to me it looks too flat (low contrast) and could probably benefit significantly with some selective dodge and burn and vibrance tinkering to give the scene more depth and punch.

    If you like I can show you what I mean.

    In any case, very nice set and some food for thought 😊

    All the hard work to carve out these figures and there is none to admire them any more...
    It looks like place where you could meet Indiana Jones...

    I like this image, the left side straight geometrical lines and clean appearance opposed to right side weathered building.

    I like this shot, it's showing well these delicate artifacts. I often find hard to get these red colours right in photo for flowers without overexposing them, but maybe for glass it will be easier.

    Love this shot, tunnel is luminous and the tree on left side adds just right amount of variety to scene.

    This is a very strong composition. Very nice, smart and effective. I loved it.

    It is a very melancholic scene, the fireplace shot is my pick.

    These are my picks, I think the first and second are very dramatic. the last one is very successful composition.
