Seems to look funny with the top cut off. Excellent colors and focus.

I love the shadows in this picture as well as the position that the building is. I'm not sure if you waited for the sun to get lower or just got there at a good time, but either way, great shot.

I would have liked to seen the top of the building but as I refer to it you caught the sweet light. nice

Comment by ScottK:
Colors are nice. Composition is a bit messy. I'll give it a "just barely" on the challenge, because I think the vertical lines are the strongest aspect, not the angles. But they are there.

This picture has great potential. I would like to see it without the top cropped off...

Comment by nborton:
in a response to bosie (if anyone ever looks again). i was panning at an extremely slow shutter speed in part because i wanted to get a panning image so the background was blured. on a bright afternoon i wouldn't have shot so slow, however, it was at dusk and there wasn't enough light to shoot at a faster shutter speed and still have a normaly exposed shot. i was reading in a national geographic photography help book made up of their photographers a couple of weeks after i shot this, and they said to start around 1/250th of a sec for racing. and the better you get the slower you can go. however, i had to make a huge compromise because of the lack of light. so i had to be all that much steadier. personaly i am pretty suprised about it now when i think about it. it should have been much harder than it seemed at the time.

I love the setback style of early skyscrapers. There's always so much to look at. I think I'd like less sky in this picture, it seems to distract from the angles.
