After so much time in nature, I was missing architecture. Usually getting to the Bahai Temple (from the city) would be a long haul, but Junko lives relatively close so I headed over there for an architecture "fix." It had been very crowded but as the sun was setting, I was lucky that this fellow stayed behind as the crowds cleared.
You are an architecture photo queen! Such luck to have the one man sitting on the steps. Kind of like your scenic overlook shot with the woman included.
Having stood on these steps with you last spring I can really appreciate this fabulous building! Love your POV! The man on the steps just compliments the image! Fav!
Fantastic capture and processing Taffy. The chap sitting on the steps was a real bonus! I loved the Bahai Temple and I have some lovely shots with gorgeous blue skies from when I was in Chicago - such wonderful memories of one of the best holidays of my life!
It is strange how I used to think that people spoiled architectural photographs and I would wait ages for them to go away rather than using them to add interest to the image. I think it is one of the things that looking at other people's images - like this one - has taught me. I love to see all of your architectural shots.
You are one of the few photographers who really knows when to use the fish eye and not make it look contrived. Great shot- ditto to what everyone else has said!
@helenhall I used to think the same -- no people at all was better. But I've come to realize that sometimes they add to the shot (of course, sometimes they don't too). Thanks for your kind comment!
Wow what a great pov and love what the wide angle does to the steps! I don't use my wide angle enough, but then again I don't have beautiful architecture like this in my neighbourhood !! :)
One of my favorite buildings! The wide angle does fabulous things to the stairs. This time, a person is an excellent addition. He almost looks as though he is praying. Beautiful.
