Landscape 1

It annoys me that this is slightly tilted; I didn't mean for it to be angled and I didn't think it was when I took it. Ignoring that, though, this was my favorite of several shots I took of the Cathedral of Learning. At first I tried to shoot it from the Gates 6th floor balcony, but there was nothing particularly interesting about that perspective. From this garden, the various buildings neatly frame the Cathedral, with lots of interesting lines among them. I would have liked to have the Cathedral more in focus, with the other buildings blurrier and darker around it, as if the viewer were looking through a window from a dark room to the bright sky beyond. The Cathedral is also roughly a third from the left of the frame, following the rule of thirds.
