good topic, great angle, and the lighting's pretty darned good, too! I especially enjoy the modern-esque reflections in the windows, helping to embolden the statement.

Very interesting shapes. I also like that there are only two colors, it draws attention to the lines and shapes. Simple and effective. Nice shot.

The strength of this image comes from the two different sets of lines, curved and straight. It's incredibly powerful visually. I'd love to see this shot at sunrise/set with the color change! 8

lovely. the way the recessed coffers in the dome echo the rectanglar windows in the office building behind makes this work. Good colors, fine composition, good use of the thirds without letting it rule your layout.
