Dreamscape

I had just stepped out of a sushi place when I looked up at the sky,
and saw this image as in a dream. There she stood, the Empire State Building,
the icon of New York City standing next to another massive structure that I
unfortunately do not know the name of. I guess any building this close to the icon
will not easily be remembered, for they all pale in comparison. Tall buildings are
par for course in New York City, and you have to be special to stand out in the crowd.
The Empire State Building has been around long enough to earn its legend.
Even today it is THE icon.

Note: This image is pretty much as is. I only darkened the tones,
and added contrast, and sharpness.

Awesome work, Sam. Beautiful composition. This should be the cover for a great novel about the great city. ~V~
