A shot of the Potala Palace in Lhassa in June 3 years ago. The sky was mean that morning which is what I like about this shot. I had to clear some of the noise with cs3 - that's all I did with this. Your thoughts?
Cam: Konica-Minolta DiMAGE G600 (point'n'shoot)
f/4.7, 1/1250, ISO-50, 8mm (basically, it was on auto since I was oxygen deprived and had a very hard time just walking in a straight line...)

I agree with Jack. Good color, good depth, and good shot concept. The only problem I have with it is the lens distortion that causes the building to lean back. It's not normal and causes photo distress for anyone looking at it. If you have a lens distortion correction program, CS3?, (I don't use CS so I don't know for sure what it can do) I would correct it as much as possible. In taking a shot like this and they can be quite good, you should account for the distortion that will be there and include more of the building than you need for the final composition. In correcting for the distortion some portions of the shot may be lost.
