Not very modern - and there are lots of things compositionally that get in the way of the photo for me. The tree in the middle, the building in the middle top, the fact that the building isn't level so the sky wedge on the upper right is not symmetrical. I think you can do better
A very cleaver idea. I really like your thought process here. My only thoughts are to rotate a tiny tad to straighten. A very nice first entry - and definitely welcome to the FM forums. Glad to have you here!
I disagree. The Modern period in Architecture started in 1900 with some late 1890s era buildings being included, this building looks to be younger than that. We are now in what, assuming that the usual naming convention holds true, will be called Recent Architecture...
I asked the same question of a friend who is also on this board. What exactly qualifies as "modern"? Is it modern in the architectural design sense? Or modern in the sense that it is something recently constructed? I think either are valid interpretations for this assignment.
I would argue that the picture isn't of the reflection but of the glass building. In that case, it is modern. I like the juxtaposition of the old and the new.
I reshot the picture today. We actually got sun a lunch today. This time, I borrowed a 100-300mm telephoto so I could get a tighter shot on the building. This one turned out much brighter and more detailed than the previous one.
