Old Man Chrysler's Place *

NYC

It's a little known fact that Horace Chrysler, the man responsible for the construction of the Art Deco masterpiece Chrysler Building, actually lived in the 67th Floor (termed "The Attic" by its occupants) for the last 35 years of his life. He was affectionately known in the building for habitually opening the windows and shouting at passers by to "stay off his property," but being 67 floors up, he was seldom heeded.

You have a nice contract between grey and unassuming foreground structure and light main subject. I wonder how it would look with a bit tighter crop

Horace Chrysler ... ROTFLMAO - That's just hysterical. * --> I like how the shape of the clouds tends to mimic the arches on the building. This might be a bit better with a circular polarizer filter to darken the sky and increase the contrast with the clouds.
