    Nice!
    I like it. The repeating geometric patterns and the odd angle of the building make it somehow compelling. Is this a composite, or a single image?

    Cheers,
    Jeremy

    Very interesting shot! I like it!

    Perhaps exposing for the shadows on the left and bringing out more details from the building could improve it.

    This looks great. What did you do different?

    - Adjusted exposure to +0.7 EV
    - Raised shadows and highlights (not sure about midtones)

    Very interesting shot to play with.

    The one thing that kind of grabbed me was that the angle was odd. I don't know how to explaine it so I played with your picture a little. I hope you do not mind.

    Here is the original, see the red line points out the odd angle, I like it, but it just was off from the 30, 45, 60, 90 of my geometric mind...

    So I rotated the picture a bit and then had to crop it to fill the frame...

    I do not know if it is any better, makes the building fell like it is falling into the picture more, which is not a warm fuzzy feeling.

    Interesting to play with, you have a great shot! so many ways to tweek it, I would love to live there and have a chance to shoot it many different ways, the new and old archicture, lines and angles, great material to work with.

    Thanks for the showing us!

    When I first saw this photo, it looked like lattice work, not another building :D

    It took a little while before I figured out that it was actually another building w/ the sky reflection in the window.
