I would appreciate critique and feedback on a photo set comprising of a three day trip to Latvia's capital, Riga. It was more of a family/touristic trip so I was lucky to squeeze in some shots. I had with me a three lens set, the 90mm 6.8 angulon, the 125 fujinon and the nikon 300mm f9.

Hello Marko,
An interesting set. I've never been to Riga although I have spent a day in nearby Tallinn. It has a similar mix of local and stalinist architecture. So your pictures are good in that they convey a sense of place.
You have avoided the purist route by allowing converging verticals - a brave move in these circles. Not sure if that was a choice or an accident, though?
I like the results you get from Fomapan in your first and last pics (View towards Riga... and Helsingborg through the Castle Gates). The contrast adds to the mood and detail. Do you add a lot of curves in PS to achieve that?
Regards,
Charles

A necessity, since I only had the 90mm Angulon with me (It barely covers 4x5).

Somewhat. Its general port processing plus getting it right in the first place.



Thank you for your comments and complements.
