[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of my older pictures as I still don't have camera (sold my "old" Minolta A2).
It is so nice to stroll through a multi million people city and finding "things" like these.

This officebuilding is located right in the harbour with direct access to the sea. I bet many workers spent their days by enjoying the scenery ;-)

Post work in PS CS:
1. I go to Channel Mixer and click "Monochrome" than I change the sliders to what I like. Here Red 80 / Green 16 / Blue 4

2. I go to Gradiation Curves and change what I like, very difficult to explain as there are no set percentages... :(

3. Little changes in shadow/light menu.

Interesting building. Good composition and POV. Sky is so dramatical. Nice shot.

Very interesting. Good shot.

Wow Jan. A very good composition. I like the B&W mode.
A nice point of view.
Good one, nice share.

wow! looks surreal...I really love the perspective of your shot, and the people who works there very lucky...How I wish I could work with the same scenery...I play around with your photo too, please see the WS...hope you like it...

Good composition and angle. I like what you did in post processing with the black and white levels. Very good sharp image. Well done.

If i had just one word for this building: Designable. With the sky like this, the composition is very impressive!

i like the angle and the perspective you shoot this building. really give a 'huge' and 'mighty' feelings. and the post processings are very good also.. good choice of Black and White. very solid. nice photo!

Excellent photo, Jan. I am still trying to develop an eye for architecture, I just miss them on the street all the time, but you spotted this one very well. congrats.
jaco

beautiful archtectuaral shot with the angular shapes and streaky sky.

this is a great crisp image, lovely tones, thanx, M, (*_*)

Mine! this is an impressive work...from the thumbnail version I could swear this was manipulated in PS! what a building...I don't know if it is architectural heaven, but it sure is one for a photographer;D
great conversion to B&W!
excellent!
