I find the trees very convincing but not the building. The trees tend to capture air, season and depth through the density of the leaves and tonal qualities. I am missing this in your building. The panels, which take up most of your image size, look extremely flat. The point of view is also too high.

I find the presence of the foreground tree on screen left to be detracting to the overall impact of the building. Also the traffic in foreground doesn't add to the strength of the design solution. I would re-compose closer to the structure.

The fall pallette is nice. However, it seems hazy/cloudy. The sun should be stronger to remidy this. The forground is working but the hill or mountain in the background is distracting. It would dissappear in the atmosphere more.

Upon first inspection I found that the composition of the image is too tight and almost cluttered specially around the edges. This could be due to the open sky that dominates the image. The uniformity of the leaves in the left side makes it serve like a border. Surely the subtle coloration and adjustment in variation of the leave's position would remove this impression.

The architectural design reminds me of the Music Experience Project by Frank Gehry in Seattle. For those who have been there there is the benefit of having the ability to compare it with memory as well as captured in film/digital camera. This now evokes a certain expectation in your presentation because a similar design has been seen before and for me it needs a bit more dynamism and probably more contrast? This is mainly due to the lack of dominant light that controls the presentation of the image. Surely one has to balance showing the architcture well to getting the lighting correct but there are ways to achieve both. Based on the perspective and shadow formation the sun looks like it is behind the viewer and that should make the areas of the Sony entrance to be under darkness. Just darken up those areas a bit without losing the details. Also there is a bit of discrapancy in the shadow formation since the trees's penumbra are almost parallel to the image (sun coming in from the left side/west) but the shadow formation on the building itself does not reflect this sun position.

Also it was hard to determine the materials used in the building specially on the facing facade/cladding. In arch-vis sometimes there is a need to show the exact materials used and in this instance it is hard to ascertain what it is.

Maybe a more squarish aspect ratio would have opened the image better and made it more inviting? This is because you can offset the building to the right side and fill the rest with incidental environmental details without feeling too cramped in. Also maybe lessen the amount of cars? It just feels that there is too much cars there and would have been nice to have seen a bit of the landscaping in front since this is part of the design as well. Also would have been nice to have shown the area in the entrance to be open so you can show some people crossing the street.

The good things on this image though is it shows exactly what the subject matter is and no one has to guess what it is. In that aspect you have succeded well.

The foreground elements are too much for this image. The tree on the left and the traffic jam aren't particularly flattering. The building itself has some nice things going on in terms of the activity and the architecture, I just wish we weren't so removed from it. A view from the courtyard level may have been more exciting.

Very nice. The picture has an overall 'assembled' feel, though it isn't enough to ruin it. Pulling together the building, environment, context and entourage is hard.

The lighting feels stronger on the cars than the builings or trees or background. As I keep saying, it would be better if the foreground Mercedes were pulled back so its tail was out-of-frame, allowing a visual opening to the subject site, and not bouncing the viewer off the back bumper right off the picture. Also, the walking path should be differentiated from the road. I thought the people were walking in the street.

There is an artificial nature to the building's color and surface that I quite like. It's not trying to be 100% a fake photo but instead is part portrait, with blemishes smoothed for flattery. The design is good, and the fountain brings you in. But some brighter color and contrast inside the store at the base would help with that, suggest function.

The sky is good, no clouds are higher than the tower, suggesting great height. The tree colors help by picking up the buildings warm tones, and the fallen leaves add a nice level of detail. But how about this: Take the woman in the foreground and put her in a sleek dress in a champagne color to echo the tower's tones and shapes.
