Boring buildings

April 2025

Expert
winner

I really liked how the photographer composed this image bringing interest to a modern and 'boring' tower block. The framing against the glowing moon evokes a quiet mood whilst the movement of the birds gives energy to the image. I feel that it was the right choice to take this image in landscape with the main focus on the building. A worthy winner, well done :)

I really liked this entry and thought that is was particularly relevant to the brief. I felt that the photographer has used light and shadow here to create interest for the viewer on the fire escape. A scene that many would miss has been captured well here. A good enry, well done.

Exploring the interest we can find in buildings that many would call boring, but others might say are merely understated, more focussed on function than form, and probably a lot more economical to build.

I really liked how the photographer took a mundane and functional building and captured it exceptionally. The reds pop and work well against the blue of the sky. The image works well in landscape and the leading lines of the building draws the eye of the viewer. A lovely entry.
