I find the harsh light and the shadows produced by it a little distracting unfortunately.

Certainly looks an interesting building Steve. I think #2 is the pick of the bunch for me.

Its a wonderful structure. Fair play re the harsh lighting, I treated this like doing a landscape so was within 90mins of sunrise and was back lighting.

Gosh! I used to live (late 80's) about 400m from here, It's a great house (mine was not so impressive). Good shots of it.

It looks like a challenging and unrewarding task trying to find a good angle for an impressive building wot looks all art-Deco ... amiright?

Number2 for me, the monochrome, but I'd say there is a twice-as-good view lurking somewhere.
How about revisiting at the opposite time of day?

 

[SFTPhotography]

Revisiting in evening shooting would be at the sun at this east to west aspect.

I've got some west to east evening aspects and a north to south aspect from the back.

I'll post a separate thread later.
