Thank you for the words in form of critique
I don't like to change my photos, i assume what i saw in that moment
It was not possible to go there and take out the chair, but you are right, without it will be better
The other crops you suggest are a matter of opinion, i like it at it is, but i can understand what you say
thank you again
Best regards
José

We all have different techniques, and especially in the kind of photograph you were taking, I understand your position entirely.
I have been doing photography for a long time and did a lot of darkroom work, both colour and black & white. When printing on paper, cropping an image was almost a given, seeing that the output on film and the output on paper did not match. I followed this thinking when I went digital, partially because the viewfinder in my Nikon D90 shows 95% of what is being recorded, so no matter how careful I am in composition, there is usually something around the edges that I did not want in the image, so I crop to what I saw.
Regardless, I think that image is very compelling and makes a statement. Great work!

For sure.
I also make photo for a long time and i also start in film and make the darkroom work at home
But i always want to show what i really saw
I always make the composition on my head before making a photo, beeing an architect helps a lot, sometimes i am not happy with the result so i didn´t show the photo
Last week i had a comment no another photo saying that my photo is not centered i must crop it and make a mirror to be perfect, but life is not perfect...
Best regards

I’m not at all surprised that you are an architect. That straight-on view of the scene is something I recognize as a comfort zone in my own work. I am an engineer, so like architects, orthographic projections (straight on views) are the way I tend to analyse the world around me. My comfort zone is turning a three-dimensional view into a two-dimensional representation by looking straight on to a scene when I pre-visualize a picture.
I agree with you about symmetry. Sometimes you can get a great image by concentrating on the symmetry of an object or a scene, but other times you can get something even more compelling when you present it asymmetrically.
I agree that life is not perfect and we should not artificially try to make something perfect, other than perhaps in portrait photography. I look at things slightly differently than you do. When I look at an image before I shoot, I will try to frame things in such a way that things in the image do not pull my eyes away from the main subject. I have no issues at all in changing my position or even moving things in the scene to meet that end. If it is something I would remove in the darkroom or Photoshop in post-production, I will try to eliminate it in the scene before I take the picture. If I think I am going to want to change things in post, I will try to correct while shooting so as to save me time later on.
Anyways, keep up the great work! You have some really compelling images posted here.

So my friend engineer we are quit different and that is great
Keep going the good work, with or not post processing, with or not eliminate things, or with something else, but do it as always as you can, because i think that is great to look around and see something, because there are people that never saw nothing
Best regards

It is a good thing that there are so many difference in the world and the way we look at things. I do a lot of work with architects and quite enjoy it. We have our differences as the architects look at the buildings we are designing quite differntly from the way I do.
The architects spend a lot of time figuring out the best way to design and build the building, while I am responsible for how the building will be used, and the two roles often require compromises on both of our parts..

I have my team and we work together for several years, so when i made my drawings they already know what i want
Not easy sometimes
But we work well, do great things and are happy

My problem is that the architects I work with are very comfortable with the "old way" of how the production facilities operated and we have redesigned these processes from the ground up. This means that the old knowledge is no longer valid and they need to understand the operational changes and their impact on facility design requirements.
On top of that, company policy is that all new facilites have to mee LEED certification, adds to the complications.
It's all good fun, but challanging.

I am always inventing new things
Trying new materials
Trying new type of drawings/buildings but with my personal signature
You are right, we must are update and i think i am
And the rules change so quick that is very difficult
I am the owner so i made my rules but always according to national determinations
Fun ? YES!

New things are a lot of fun. Our biggest problem is that our company is regulated by the national goverment, but most other companies are regulated at the provincial level, which means that the cities also get their say.
This means we only have to meet National regulations, not the town, city and provincial ones, so the towns and cities don't like this and cause problems where they can. We try to work with them, but sometimes we just have to say NO!

We all have regulations to give more "fun" to works
we have national regulations and a few other ones but only on urbanistc cases

In Canada we have a number of national and provincial codes (building code, fire code, electrical code (and labour code for buildings where people work)) that describe how buildings have to be built and fit up. On top of that we have municipal by-laws that dictate planning requirements; land use permission, building heights, setbacks from roads and property lines, etc. The local ones are often highly variable, certainly from city to city, but sometimes even within different parts of the cities, and local planning officials really have a lot of power.
All of these put together means a long and drawn out process between finding an appropriate piece of land, design and approvals, construction and finally being able to get the business set up.

I can see how difficult must be
I must not complain anymore

Fortunately, I am not directly involved in these discussions. We have a project management company and local architects deal with those issues. I only have to get involved when the schedule or budget are at risk.
