A little oblique to the subject matter - but a good quality shot.

Don't understand the title. Did you try to convey that even when the telecom industry has gone to hell, its landmarks are still standing??? This is a nice image, like the diagonal line but when my eye goes up on the landmark there isn't much to hold interest. Good job though!

interesting photo, but it doesn't say 'corporate world' without the title... - jmsetzler

This is a really cool photo. Two suggestions: 1- saturate the colors a little more. Quickly playing around with the levels in Photoshop, I was really happy to see this with bold blues and reds. 2 - the diagonal line that runs kind of crooked and points to the bottom right of the picture ... I think it would be great if the crop was right at that point, leading to the corner. Still, this is a really visually appealing shot, and I really love geometrically based photographs. Great negative space, too.

this is nice... i love the simplicity of it... when you are shooting closeups of flat images like this one, it is sometimes beneficial to use a smaller aperture to bring everything into sharp focus... good shot :) = 7 - jmsetzler

Ah yes, good old jeans. A comfortable feel. Would have liked greater depth of field, so you'd end up with less in the photo out of focus. But if you're like me, you may not have that control on your camera...

This picture really has character, I think. It looks casual, yet it is well focused (well, except for one spot), and shows the texture really well. Nicely done. karmat

Very nice picture. The only thing I would change is that the out of focus part on the left is a bit distracting.

Good show of texture. Would like it better if it was all in focus.

That's a fun interpretation of the texture challenge and totally valid. Effective way of cropping the image. The unraveled fabric peeking out of the pocket is a nice touch.
