The lighting is perfect and it's a well-captured, interesting building. A more dramatic or textured sky or something floating by in the river would add more visual interest.   Posted: 01/06/2026 21:31:17

I agree with Karen. The building is spectacular and the lighting perfect. Since the sky isn't all that interesting I would crop a bit more out to focus more on the building. I see why you had to chop it off on the left...the red scaffolding would be a distraction.   Posted: 01/07/2026 10:59:54
