Nice series Tommy. I'm starting to warm up to B/W's and for some reason it helps to emphasise power in this one.COAmature

I post unpopular picys all the time Tom, mostly unintended though - LOL! :-D CJ

You saw through my plan Rod. Another strategy is to post unpopular pictures. The plan has worked pretty well for several months now a:-) ? -tv

Three very good picys but this one does tickle me fancy a bit more than the the other two, well done Tommy. The trouble wiv three picys like this is it will split your vote. Not a bad way to get out of running a challenge a:-)

Thanks JV its my favorite too. Thanks Angio.. these were once more than symbols of power as the last major development of Rockefeller Center. Sometimes referred to as the XYZ buildings reading right to left, the tallest on the left was the Exxon building until they moved to Texas. It is now owned by Mitsui Fudosan, purchased at the peak of the previous real estate bubble in the late 1980s. The center is still the McGraw Hill building. The left was the Celanese building but is now the international hq of The News Corp owned by Australia's most famous expatriot after Mel Gibson, Rupert Murdock. It's a symbol of the diminishing "power" of the US and growing internationalization of the world economy. -tv

I too like this the best. Great contrast with the clouds and buildings! Also, very appropriate "power" symbol for our culture. - angioman

This is my favorite of the three. I like the boldness of it. - J.V.
