Stanford Tower Final (compare?)

[Rob Patterson]

The original post of the tower shot lacked any scale. Little concept of the size and height of the tower was readily apparent. I looked at the six shots I'd taken and found one with a large camphor tree at the base. While it doesn't give the scale that a person standing at the top would give, I feel it does give some scale. What do you think?

I like both this and "Jump Off Point" very much, but I do like this one better. I think the sepia tint gives the tower more drama...and it is a very dramatic building from what you've said.

I like this better.

In my opinion, the trees balance the composition much better and contrast beautifully with the geometric shapes.
It just makes it stronger with adding the organic shapes os the trees.
Nice shot!

I am less concerned about the scale and more involved with the framing and shapes involved. I think I like this better though - maybe it's the sepia treatment that seems to fit the subject. This one feels nicely balanced too.

Rob, this is a very beautiful photograph. The composition is superb. The tonal range is excellent. This photograph has teeth!

Cheers!

N.B. I agree with you, including the tree sets a frame of refernece for this iamge.
