The pictures are very dull and lack depth. The idea was good, but you either misused your camera, or need to purchase better equipment. A polarizer filter would make your skies look not so blah. The fact that it was an ugly day doesn't help either.

heh ok ok

given the conditions: grey day in seattle, hand held digi without posibility of filters, no tripod.
the steel is monochromatic matte finish dull bluish grey

but the best part is that the windows are doing their job exactly the way the architect intended. The double layer of glass is filled with a fine expanded metal screen. While yes this dulls the view it also allows the sikin of the building to meet energy code without having interior shades or some exterior louver system which would be nearly impossible create in a uniform fashion due to the varied angles of the exterior skin.

the pictures are not dull, they allow the bleakness in. Just because they don't look like an advert does not make them bad. They have a soft quality because of this which allows for a certain sadness or perhaps sobriety which to my mind is really alright, and not an ugly day at all.

is seattle not a dull, grey, rainy city? so what if they are dull. they are representative of their subject.
