It's not like me to complain about applicability to the challenge but surely this is more "converging lines" than parallel? Regardless it's a great atmospheric shot and well worthy of recognition.

I am a great fan of color. There is a total lack of blue in this photo.Of all colors there should be blue,
The angle is great. Composition is OK. But there is no color.You lose points because you do not intagrate color as an aspect of your composition. While B&W can be a strong format, you fail to see that there is a pervading color cast that would give a sense of motion to your picture.

Congrats on your second ribbon in a row. This structure/building has so much power to it, the perspective and tone really enhance that. Did you worry about the slight tilt to the right? Just curious.
Good luck in your next challenges...

Thanks for all the great comments
you wait all year for a ribbon and then two come along at once
I doubt that my entry for "out of place" will score high and I'm bracing myself for the comments
By the way " to the stars " post shot editing would have passed the basic rules it was converted to B/W and the contrast increased

The clouds look fake to me, something of the sort of "Difference Clouds" as produced with Photoshop. Maybe not, but it just looks like it could have been rendered rather than captured. Not to offend, just to question the possibility. I liked this image, the clouds just gave me a 2nd guess. Regardless, congrats on the win and the numerous other wins under your belt. You've definitely got a good thing going.

Paul... This image is well deserving of the blue ribbon. I was not in disagreement with the group when I made it one of my top three picks. Kudos to you and your great work and congrats on a second blue.

Very hi-tech. The blade-like angle of the building points aggresively to the sky and
challenges whoever is up there to complain. I like it.

what an awesome perspective of this building. the lighting helps define the cold steel of the side of the building. the clouds give a neat spooky effect

Great job using perspective and the sky to invoke feeling using only nonliving objects. The blackness to the right seems a little out of place, though.
