High Life- apartments in Calpe, Spain

dinneenp

While on holidays there were a lot of high rised apartments, I was drawn to the patterns, straight lines in them. Althoght they didn't blight the area in these photos by having the apartments covering 100% of the photos I tried to make them look imposing, like massive cities in the Far East where you have endless amounts of skyscrapers

have you seen any of michael wolf's shots from hong kong?

I think to have an impact they'd have to be more geometric. You've been a little haphazard in positioning and composing the shots so nothing's really square to the picture borders and the perspective is off. I'd be more inclined to take a more orthogonal approach to the entire thing. Also I'd use a shift lens or remove the perspective distortion in PS. Perspective effects certainly work for some architectural shots, but not, I think, with what you're trying to do here.

Good old calpe and it's big rock.

I like 5 the most but think it would work better without any sky.
