Some fill flash to give catchlights in the eyes and take out the racoon shadows would have been nice, IMO.
From my small collection of mildly eccentric architectural pix...
Every room has its own chimney!
Castle window screen
My contribution to today's architectural theme...the screen in this window was clearly meant to keep out some really big insects.

Judging by the shadows of the trees, you've shot this right in the middle of the day, with the sun almost directly overhead... which produces washed-out colours, an overall blue cast and little differentiation between foreground, middleground and background.
You can play around with adjustments in Photoshop... but it still won't look right. If you were to take the same shot early in the morning, or late afternoon/evening, you'd have directional side-lighting, more definition, and the colours would really 'sing'. Maybe a couple of golfers striding down the fairway too...
You are right on target with your observations. I had already noticed that when I processed these, and learned a valuable lesson about lighting. I shot the back nine a few days ago later in the afternoon, but I think I still need to get out later in the day. The next course I shoot I will do that, and based on the photos in that last shoot, yes, a few golfers did enhance the content. Thanks for the comments.

The Rialto Theater in Pasadena, CA; Shot with a Holga 120N using Ilford Delta 400 Pro film. No photoshopping except to save scanned negative as a jpg.
More architecture please ...

A bit overexposed in places but taken with my old olympus mju 410 before it got stolen
Nice shot. Is that from the Stoa of Attalos?

Architecture. Always makes me think of great b/w slides I saw ages ago, made by a architecture student during her stay in prague. Never saw b/w slides again.
Yep, it is indeed. Was amazing that I got the shot with nobody in it, as the place was crawling all day. Waited until near closing and got it to myself which was awesome. Same with the other ancient sites, either really early or really late and I was missing the crowds. Loved Athens, worked there for 4 months and my favorite city ever.
More architecture please ...
Still don't get how they built this sort of thing without a calculator...

This is a very nice pic
The picture is overly cluttered and your eye doesn't really know what to look at first. I think part of this has to do with the effect.
Taken today at the Seattle Art Museum Olympic Sculpture Park.
My first contribution to this thread! I took this last year while in Montreal. Comments are welcome.
