[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While passing through one of our Southwestern cities (Houston, I believe) I noticed this striking architecture and was struck by its bright contrast and pattern against the blue sky. I wish I could remember the name of the building complex. If anyone out there recognizes it, please let me know. I did a minimal amount of PP - used “skew” feature in photoshop to minimized effect of converging vertical lines, some cropping and level adjustments for a bit more color saturation in reds and blues. Also, this is another image in the “Magical Number 4” theme. Those 4 red ventilation pipes are what really caught my attention. Again, if anyone out there knows the name of the building, please let me know. Thanks!

A good observation and quite interesting for ,of course, the colors and the composition. A good sharpening.

Hi Jim,
Beautiful colors and neat graphical shapes.

Great shot, Jim! You managed the light quite well here, not so easy with all that white, and then dark colours. Great composition too. Well done!

Hi Jim,

Very good detail and excellent composition here, A real engineering type shot which could almost be component parts of a ship, I love the angles, shapes and the three main colours. Brilliant capture!
