Birmingham City Council Offices Spire

Not sure if this is the format Steve is looking for - could use advice - but in any case here goes.

 Original copy of the photo

Early one fine November morning, headed into Birmingham looking for photo opportunities to add to my “ancient” group within the first set of the Assignment 208 - Theme 1a, the built environment photographs.
Liked the way the sun provided interesting shapes and textures on the spire and attempted to make an interesting viewpoint to add a difference to the shot.
Needed very little adjustment to the end shot other than some minor cropping and colour adjustment.

Taken with 75-300mm lens with an ISO of 100. Needed the zoom to capture the shot from street level. Aperture set at f/11 to give a reasonable focal length and a shutter speed of 1/60
