looks soo unreal. (historic digression: some years ago, this was what botched-up "photorealistic" 3D scenes looked like.)
thing is, i aint sure if that's really the thing to make it look appealing to me. perhaps the most appealing thing then, is the question itself. ;)
Doug, yes, I feel the same. And no, I didn't do much at all in post-processing, just minor colour and contrast adjustments. I think it was as Tomas said, the light was reflected from the ground and the building and it was slightly filtered to begin with, the sky was a bit hazy.
By the way, about the 6x7 format. The camera I use actually produces negatives which are closer to a 4x5 aspect ratio. By now I have really learned to like this format a lot, but it took me quite some time to get used to it. You have to compose differently compared to 35mm.
yeah, 6x7 is interesting, i never knew if i hated or loved it... probably both. :)
as for the scene - to me it feels a bit too much like a render, but if that's what you're after, good. it certainly fits with the previous posts. it's just that i tend to prefer "casual elegance."
nice, clear
hope you wont feel offended when I say that this was my first association

Super!
It is perfect, all things in the picture are perfectly "working" together!
