I like the idea good thinking It will be new for a lot of people i bet
I do like the Tape measure on it it does add that nice touch to it.
the only thing that detracts for me is the large crease in the cloth to the left of the mag it really caught my eye and pulled me away a little.
No problem with the crease here, it makes it less staged imo.
Nice colours, I like the use of angles and the inclusion of the tape to add 3D to the image.
Fitting for the theme most certainly, I like the inclusion of the tape measure. I think it would suit a different, tighter crop as for me there is too much top and bottom in the image.

Thanks @LC2 - definitely no staging came to mind. I had a short window working from home and thought i'd have a go at what I had in mind. I'm sure over the year, i'll be getting a bit more thoughtful about my presentation though

Thanks @michael23 - you're quite right to be fair. I know it's only early days, but it's critique like yours that makes me think that I should have paid a little more attention to detail
Good choice of theme. Something I could do with doing this year. Magazine really stands out... so much I am tempted to buy this issue. Plain background would have made the image stand out much better. I’ve purchased a roll of black and white paper from the range for such shots. Lasts ages and does not cost a fortune. Just need somewhere to store them. They do other colours as well. Think I’ve seen red and green in there as well. Good luck with the new you.
Hi Ian, that’s where I’ll be on Thursday I like the composition with the tape measure, I do agree about the background though, a closer crop would definitely work.
Hi Ian, nice idea and as others have said the tape adds to the image. I think it would benefit from a crop as the bg is a bit distracting or possibly a slightly lower angle

I absolutely love buildings, angles and the lovely clean lines they have, and more so, converting them to black and white, so this worked really well (pending all the critique )
Yes, I agree. It worked really well indeed. The reflections look good, and the part of the building on the right doesn't distract imo, as without it, it would look like you were attempting a symmetrical shot.
Cheers Bob. To be fair, I wouldn't have minded it symmetrical but i'm reasonably happy how it turned out...... especially as i'd managed to rack about 6 shots off before the receptionist from Lock & Store Aldershot got on her high horse and told me I need permission from head office to take photos

Yes, I imagine there are laws which have to be taken into account. It's all to do with what's public and what's private I guess. When I get told to move along I just go back later!!
Cracking image, love the B&W processing.
I really like the use of reflections and the crop works well too - the slightly off-centre composition gives it an interesting feel, and the gentle vignette brings you nicely into the lines of the architecture.
Great tones in the sky too!
Very nice work Ian!
Really love this! I like the range of tones- nice deep blacks in the sky, velvet smooth mid tones on the front of the building and then nice bright whites in the windows to add a pop of contrast. I think you've processed it perfectly, and the image suits the theme perfectly. Nicely done.
Nice one, Ian I have begun to enjoy photographing buildings in recent years and this is a super fit for the theme with those great lines and curves, and all that glass. B&W is a good choice too, putting all the attention on the shape of the building itself - and those lines are very clean.
I like this a lot. Have you added a vignette to the sky or is the darker corners natural? either way I think it works to frame the building. One small point, and I don't know if it would have been possible, but I would have preferred the bottom right glass part of the building to start in the corner like the left hand side does.
