I think the dark part is a bit dark, it has been brightened and rotated a bit, I don't know if it can be received.
However, in the tourism photography group, dark corners and color changes are not allowed, only unified conversion to monochrome is allowed, and color change is not allowed. Otherwise, you can put it into PIDC. Posted: 05/07/2025 09:20:57

Thanks for the advice. The building was just too tall for me to stand at it's feet, and I only had a wide angle 35mm lens to get a full shot of it. So I kept adjusting my position and finally crossed a street before I could barely get a full shot of it. It was dusk, so the photo has dark corners. In post-processing, I deliberately didn't brighten up the photo because I think the darker tones make the building feel more oppressive.

I agree and like that idea. If we are going for PIDC, then may be merge the bottom part of the building as well (if it is interesting and give improved frame) Posted: 05/17/2025 19:58:57
