Bratislava TV headquarters
Although not open to the public as such, nor was this roof-top area shut off.

There are a lot of diagonals in this image that move your eyes about. The bright wall in the center does hold my attention, which is when I find the graffiti on the walls in the background. As a result, I start looking for the graffiti and then find it elsewhere. A subtle social observation. Only thing to add is the bright stair case wall (?) on the mid right side has a tendency to walk me out of the image.
Although not open to the public....
The best kind of exploring...oh look, the door opens.
There are lots of shapes here which you’ve balanced well. A very structured picture that suits the subject. The clouds following the diagonal top left are a nice touch.
Lots of straight lines and sharp angles to keep me amused. This makes the scene quite busy and aggressive. However, that little parcel of clearish sky calms the shot down nicely. Well seen.
The geometry of this image is very strong. The clean clinical lines contrast well with the graffiti.
The graffiti and the angles play well off of each other, but I'm struggling with that highly reflective wall dead center. The brightness of it keeps drawing my eye back, but there isn't really much to look at there.
Good comments on this that leave me with little to add. The sky and graffitti humanize the otherwise hard, achitectural image.
