Default Re: Flavio Ochoa Final

Flavio, you have the makings of a really nice image here. The first thing I noticed is the composition - I really want to see land meet water and sky to the right of the frame. I think that would really complete the gesture and connect all the important elements in this project - design, tower, land and water. Perhaps a bit more breathing room to the left of the image would help anchor the element seems to be carved out of the cliff as well.

Your design is elegant in its simplicity and the forms complement the site and tower quite nicely. Image wise, I would love to see more glow from your structure. The piece to the right of the tower that's bathed in subtle red light reads very well but I lose the rest of it as it goes dark. Lastly, with regards to lighting, the tower itself deserves a bit more attention. Parts of it go almost completely to black. I think that having it read as a silhouette is not a bad choice, but some more environment light would help it pop a bit more. It is after all an important element of the parti.

My instincts tell me that the kayakers are not necessary. I really like seeing small silhouettes on land but the kayaks, particularly the one on the bottom left, are distracting.
