the wrigley building

my day in chicago
originaly in color but i think it looks better in b/w

Definitely my favorite of the three posted in this series. The details in the foreground are great and the skewed angles make the distortion fit in to the composition. This might look better with reflection removed from the bottom left windows, but thats my only complaint.

I agree about this being better in B&W. Brings out an old-time feel for buildings molded in Chicago's old-time architectural style (everything is marble, steel and glass now... though Chicago still is the best place in the country for industrial architecture).

One thing that does bother me a little is the way the image is cropped on the right side of the frame. Because of the distortion (which can't be helped when shooting wide ange unless you have a PC lens), the clipped window columns sort of lead my eye off the frame in a couple spots. Not a deal-breaker but something to keep in mind as you shoot these types of scenes.
