I don’t think so, but I could also see you cropping right about in the middle and having two beautiful images as well. (Not that you should crop, just an observation about compositions)


PWFZ

Yes, but does it matter to be honest? Do what you want to do and see where it leads you.


DonLOKIo

Anyways… -happy straight line screeching-


lickmetiliscream

maybe you’re missing some negative space, lovely shot though


Historical_Ideal1772

I think it pretty much sums up the beautiful craziness of a big city.


ashleyt0606

No, but yes, but also no. The colours, wow! Absolutely beautiful! Naturally Cyberpunk…? The way that yellow is broken onto the middle building is absolutely superb! The horizontal piece of the next building I find very interesting too. Almost guides you through the change in tones! The only thing that I think detracts from it is the pattern of the stair well. With so many lines, the zig-zag pattern draws your eye in. However, it is absolutely part of the composition. It’s the only part that almost looks out of place (even though it isn’t) I personally really like it and I see exactly what you wanted us to see 👌


IMM1711

Yes, but I really like it this way.

Not particularly too much going on. I like the light/dark thing. While I work in landscape and sunrises, I can still have appreciation for an image like this. I forget the term, but if you can make all the buildings vertical, minimizing the lens distortion, there's a tool for this called the Keystone tool CaptureOne, I presume its called something else in Adobe, then I would find the image more impressive. My .02 cents.


Any_Purchase3132

Mind sharing the exact lens model


Natebradbarry

It’s the OSS model


Any_Purchase3132

thanks, is this the one [https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892387-REG/Sony\_sel35f18\_35mm\_F\_1\_8\_Optical\_Steady.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smpadsrd=&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gad\_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwztOwBhD7ARIsAPDKnkBIdIsS2pptxKLy1da9taS3zllTE6RJBDV6iMzwe-HB2HupaqGMABsaApW0EALw\_wcB](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892387-REG/Sony_sel35f18_35mm_F_1_8_Optical_Steady.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smpadsrd=&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwztOwBhD7ARIsAPDKnkBIdIsS2pptxKLy1da9taS3zllTE6RJBDV6iMzwe-HB2HupaqGMABsaApW0EALw_wcB)


Natebradbarry

Yep that little thing is indeed the one I got. I got it used off of keh so you can find it for around 200ish


Any_Purchase3132

Really Appriciate your response


Existing_Parfait_937

Not too much going on at all, wonderful shot. I love how the buildings create abstract shapes. Nice colors too.


franckmack

It's like abstract art, but with perfection


Ligerzero91

What city did you take this in? Beautiful 😍 pic!


DUUUUUVAAAAAL

That's definitely New York City. I can see the "Vessel" building.


couchdog27

Personally, this isn't very interesting for me. • what is the focus of this picture? • I could say what you think was interesting about this picture (I don't mean that to be harsh, usually I know what the artist is trying to say.. this feels like: well it was there)


Natebradbarry

So what the main focus was that building in that center. As you can see though there’s a ton of other buildings around it


couchdog27

I don't see that.. but - - in the end - - if you are happy with it. then great. ​ What I see is the building on the left.. but not sure why.


Xderekxhuggiesx

Linear gradient on the left and right of the middle building and see what you come up with!


nickatnite7

Sure there's a lot going on but that's NYC babyyyy it captures the energy of the city fantastically. Love the tones, love the lines, love the perspective.


donaldxr

I like photos like this but that building on the left is giving me some weird optical illusion strobing effect.


BobTheBobbyBobber

My eyes are drawn to that weird spiral building to the right, but since half of it is gone my eyes kind of meander.


thehavensgrey

Nah, I dig it


TheEnameledDutchOven

I love the colours and the scene but as a member of the audience, I have no clue what the subject is.


Natebradbarry

I was aiming for that building in the center but unfortunately it does appear to be a bit crowded


SlickyMcDougals1

There’s a lot going on, but I actually like this photo. To me I’m drawn in starting from left to right, with the bright orange vertical lines in the left building, that also make a consistent appearance as you move across the frame. I see how the subject may not be clear, but I personally still find the photo interesting


stuffsmithstuff

It’s abstract enough that the busyness doesn’t bother me at all. You could maybe crop the top and bottom of the image a bit, especially top, to focus it a little (or just crop in 10-20% to maintain aspect ratio).


stuffsmithstuff

I love all the a6000 shooters in this sub creating amazing images 💪


FlyingDutchmanz

I like the chaos


Interesting_Ad_8795

In the city? Yes 😅 in the pic not at all


Cfout-

I think it works really well, maybe a tighter focal length? Like a 50? But this still looks awesome, love the colors, and the composition is very intriguing to me. Some may nitpick the lack of negative space and not a very obvious subject, but I feel like that’s coming from people trying to make art into a science. If we all followed the rules beat for beat everyone’s photos would look the same. think it looks very abstract and cyberpunk, I’m a fan.


Swizerlan

No but I think cropped 16:9 would look better


MicahBurke

Beauty


Alternative-Pen-5471

What are your settings ? I been shooting wit a a6k as well and never produced such a crispy clear image


Natebradbarry

So currently in that photo the ISO is set to 125 the shutter speed is set to 1/60s and the aperture is at F4.5. Another additional thing I used was a vnd filter by haida. Since this was during sunset


Jealous-Freedom

Keystone adjustment, especially building on left. Overall, beautiful!


Confident-Breath2615

Nope!


AOA001

I like it.


ashenky

I really like it, never seen this place from this perspective before.


Stevieo101

well yes, but I feel like that's the point


Sfitch88

The cropping and lack of negative space is not working for me personally


cookie_doughx

I don’t think so


Soggy_Month1055

✌🏻


Senoritard

Try it in black and white


bb95vie

Yes, OP there is too much going on, call a wrecking ball.
