Considering how long ago this shot was taken/uploaded I must say you showed your unique eye early on. Very nice.

I can see what Sherpet is talking about - the colors do indeed mimic those of the shavings of a pencil .. I enjoy the cats peaceful sleep .. orange tabby cat are so pretty you did him justice - I say him as they are usually male.

Greeting from the Comment Bomb Squad!

This is a shot that is underappreciated by the commenters and voters alike. The bulding has a striking shape and I love the crane on top as it takes your eye off of the building and into the sunset. But then the beautiful rays of light bring you rigt back on to the subject to complete the circle. The sky has great interest. I think you could have upped the light on the building face in PP to bring out some of those details where it is darkest. But above all the color, shape and beautiful light make this shot a winner!

Greetings from the Comment Bomb Squad!

I voted this a 9 in the challenge I know I was stricken by the colors! They shine through on this shot. The blue on green background in the front combined with the reds of the late sunset, it has the base colors RGB! The angle this was shot at gives the frontal view some perspective and the line of the clouds on the right takes you into the image. The background of the shot looses some detail in the upper windows, but the detail is all there in the foreground on the fountain.

'Tis beautiful.
