Great mate:-)

Looks good to me too Penny - good PP work! The perspective and framing of the building is better in this version. CJ

thanks - I knew that other one wasn't right. This may not be either, with what I did, but we'll see what people think - otherwise I'll get rid of it.

I see what you did and it works well enough for me Penny :-) Something about the crispness of this one just works better.

I liked the earlier one better :( - may be you can PP the tip back or something - Debi

Sorry Penny for driving you crazy

I wanted the tip at first, too... but now I think my eye reaches that missing tip and bounces back into the photo to examine it again. If the tip were there, my eye would see the tip and travel right out the top. The texture and processing is wonderful, Penny. ~Lydia

Reminds me of Escher - great lines on the left, then seems to cave in along the right site. Very Cool!

I know, I know. I took two of these. I'll work on the other one a bit.
I thought this might have some architectural interest.

Good shot of an interesting building Penny. I agree about wanting to see the top of the building though. :-) CJ

Interesting building and a perfect subject for HC, Penny. Compositionally, I would have liked to see a bit of white sky above the top corner, tho. Cheers, -mikey
