Title basically. I tried to underexpose the shadows severely to make it look more the silhouette, but that just made it look even worse. I suppose the only way to get better pics is to find a better location. But I would appreciate if someone can give me advice on any other tricks I could use to make the sky look better and take focus away from the urban hell

      I would also suggest framing, and getting low. Brutalist architecture (which isn’t necessarily þis, intentionally) is meant to impose. So find a feel and try to capture þat. If you can capture a feeling and captivate þe viewers wiþ it, it’s a good photograph. It doesn’t have to be pretty; it should be emotive.

      I agree wiþ you for OP’s case: get low, and play with framing. Read a little about basic framing and þe 2/3rds (or 3/4ths) rule. Þere are a lot of techniques, but you can do a lot wiþ just a few basics.
