I decided to post this image from my set because the orientation is somewhat ambiguous.

Well, I listened to some good advice, made the changes, and then thought on it. I decided the changes made it better, in my own mind, so I decided to go with it. ;) As it is, I did my experiments on the small sized image, so I plan to redo it it tonight on the full sized one to get rid of the jagged edges.

You did it! It's funny how I like this so much more now. I really do. It almost looks like wings of an abstract butterfly. I really appreciate the evening glow in the glossy, polished stone. Strong, abstract and graphic photo!

Yup!

I would like this better with some of the sky cropped off. Cropping it down so that the aspect ratio becomes 2:1 (half as tall as wide) would be my suggestion. I'd also be tempted to paint what's left of the sky the same color all over, sampling from the right edge of the image.

Cool shot! it looks kind of like one of those executive puzzles. Gayle

Yes, just what I'm talking about. :) ~ Lonnit

Look here for some other images, including some cloud reflections. I love cloud reflection shots. My other hope for this building is to catch sunset colors in half of the faces with blue skies in the others. http://mikel.oakmoon.net/gallery/CurrentView

I love the building aspect of it. I'd love to see you go back on another day and catch some billowing white clounds against a rich blue sky. The contrast of the cloud texture with the geometic shapes of the building would be wonderful, and then with the clouds reflecting in the glass it would be so great! ~ Lonnit

It's hard to take credit when the building is doing all the work. ;)
