I wish there were some clouds in the sky... taken in downtown Providence, RI with my new favourite combo of the tokina 12-24 on the full frame 5d.
Update-
Wow thanks everyone, im still pinching myself :-) The really old building is the Turks Head building in downtown Providence as one of the commenters correctly mentioned.
Thanks!

Nico, excellent shot! This was my pick of the challenge. I love the perspective (I also have the tokina and it's one of my faves too). Congratulations on the well-deserved blue!
Fabulous toning. I love the high contrast but smooth and clean feel to the image. Great compoosition, the way the buildings draw the eye into the frame makes the image very dynamic, and the round building at the bottom left is the key to a great image since it has very varied (hehe) surfaces, shapes and textures, and I think ends up being the most interesting part of the photo. Great image, can't think of anything I don't like about it.
8 - Very nice. Toning works very well here, adding good depth/drama. Might be a shot that cannot be appreciated at this size and the resizing has caused aspects like the (seemingly) 'overexposure' to be accentuated. Maybe an even squarer framing/crop, who knows, else a more refined crop, mainly to eliminate the white 'something' near bottom left corner. Likewise, undedided if I would prefer to see more of the 'different' building coming into frame on the left, else it cropped out altogether and the chimera/'gargoyle' featuring more prominently. Excellent perspective.
I love it!!! The way the modern buildings are almost overexposed and the old building is darker. The modern seems to lean out over and dwarf the old. Yet the older building appears sturdier and well grounded where the modern seems fragile. Fantastic! - 10
This is by far the most impressive photo submitted in this challenge. Great choice of septa. I like the darker sky in contrast to the lighter buildings. The photo is amazingly clear and crisp. You deserve first place. Good Luck. I vote a perfect 10.
excellent use of perspective and duotone(perhaps sepia?) all those diagonal lines make for a very interesting composition drawing the eye up; looks like the Turk's Head building in Providence at left bottom which softens the image and adds more interest...
