Great shot! The lense selection makes it a standout - and so does your processing.

I like the varied shapes in this. If it was mine, I'd crop to make it simpler yet - I'd lose the far left including that wider bar as well as enough off the bottom that the shadow at the bottom right was gone. Maybe some off top, too.

Comment by sfalice:
good one, Neil. I also would try to make those vertical lines even straighter on the background building.
...I see some like the building disappearing into the fog. (but) It might also be interesting to see the fog-blurry part cropped out and just concentrate on the excellent geometrics you found here.
ETA- just saw Ann's comment. The last time I saw Albany was probably 50 years ago and there was NOTHING worth recording. grimy town with a Greyhound bus station at the base of a hill and the state capital bldg at the top! I'm enjoying Neil's revelations.

Comment by Ann:
I do like this shot, but the more you show of Albany, the more I'm starting to think that we should send sfalice out for a few weeks, because it does indeed have more than its share of architectural oddities. I like the shapes and repetitive patterns of the image a lot, and the B&W conversion is quite good.

I have to admit when I saw the thumbnail, I too thought it was a toilet, and was very relieved when I opened it that the full image didn't look like a toilet to me anymore.

I'm sorry to say that my initial reaction was along the lines of the toilet bowl too and I can't blame it on drugs. I do love the lines though. The different directions and widths are amazing. The b/w is terrific.
