I cloned out some utility poles.
Adjusted levels, crop and USM.
This building has always reminded me of a cross between the Jetsons and "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells. As architecture goes, I can't help but wonder who approved the purchase of this monster for the city of Los Angeles. It makes me wonder what Frank Lloyd Wright thought of this design.
And so I call this one ... Frank Lloyd Wrong.

Do you live in the area or were you just visiting? If you live here, you should come out with us on the photo tours we take! We have one on Jan 29th! Check the Out & About forum :)
FLW can do little wrong in my eyes! Great looking building - nice time of day - but scene looks a little busy for me. A different, closer view may have afforded more interest as I find the tower quite distracting.
Great capture! Love that you paid attention to making sure the building is perfectly straight in this photo (can tell by looking at the bottom railing, runs perfectly on straight). Also, great sky, just would have been a little plain without the clouds but you got them in there.
I don't understand the title (are you saying that Frank Lloyd Wright designed this, but you think that it is ugly?). I think it's a beautiful structure, and not just because I'm from Chicago! Maybe you are referring to the fact that some of his "wilder" designs were known to have some functional/practical problems.
