Nice vivid colors, and the framing is so surprising ! A great building shot.

I think we are on the same wavelength taking buildings at bizarre angles. This abstract shot looks unreal, but still recognizable thanks to the streetlamp. Cool shot.
You have mail :)

A stunning angle and composition here, Stephen. The picture has something surreal. Works great with sky...

Great angle and good SF colors. And a good invitation to "Toot's" (I think).
Cheers!

You've used the unusual angle to great effect here. Nice colours too...

It's a strange angle... but that's what makes this shot so great. It could be just an ordinary one, but this angle transformed it completely. Very nicely seen!

Very well taken.. Its a 2-D pic but your angle has added a 3-D kinda feel to it .. I almost felt as if am standing below the building and looking up...Too Good

Wow...an impressive capture of what looks to be a most interesting and colorful structure.

@sherri: As seems always the case when I shoot these small town buildings - you were in my thoughts.

An original architecture, and your angle too !!... The result, it's a good and unusual composition.

Behrooz Sangani from Tehran, Iran
Amazing angle here! I wish your shots had exif data Stephen.
23 Aug 2008 4:57am
@Behrooz Sangani: My preferred work flow leaves the 'exif' data behind for web images. I will always provide this information upon request. I generally post the data on unusual exposures. The light on this capture was low - and in retrospect I probably should have included it here:
Canon XTi w/ 70 - 200mm IS f/2.8 lens; ISO 800, 185mm, f/2.8, 1/80 sec.
Thanks for the visit, Behrooz - it is good to hear from you.
