The Robert Morris building against the new Comcast building which is now, or will be, the tallest building in Philly. Bev and I have noted from several Vantage points driving to the city from Jersey that it already appears taller than Liberty One.
Post: Convert from Raw in PSElements3.0 with a +0.33 exposure compensation. Distortion correction to straighten. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Spot edit dust and what appeared to have been 3-4 small branches at the top of the Morris building. Selected the blue in the windows and applied NeatImage. Selected inverse and sharpen. Resize.

Fine overall, but IMHO an edge of the skyscraper could have been
shown, even if just a hint of it. Because it may look like a nice
glass design cut and pasted above the older building.
Focus is a bit soft as well.
Still, I like the lines and shapes in this one. And it does fit
the challenge theme.
At first, I didn't get this anachronism. Them I looked at it more and I now understand the contrast between the modern and old building. I hope others get this too.
Now that I look more at it, I really enjoy the contrary colors of blue and yellow. Oh wait! I thought the old yellow building was a reflection off the blue building, but it isn't. With all the lines, it looks like a refection.
The more I look at this picture the more I see. But I don't think others will get it. It's only a picture of a building. Nothing striking. I was going to give an average score, but on viewing it more, I'm giving you high marks.
(wow, I think that's the longest comment I've ever given.)
This composition is really great. I love that the glass building fills the upper left of the shot and the old building fills it in the lower right...so great.
