Before I went into work yesterday, ALL DAY!!!! (and TODAY, TOO!!!!) I went to the business district and show around a bit. I shot Liberty Place One on the Northeast side and then I saw the window washers on the Northwest side and shot away. Enjoy. (I'm off Tuesday by the way so its OK).
Later!

Post: I thought the angle at the bottom gave it more of a feel of being viewed from the ground up Guess I miscalculated yet again Here is the re-edit: . Still happy with a top ten. Thanks for the great comments.

You know what's strange about this one, to me? The sense of SCALE seems off; the people seem way too large for the size of the panels they are cleaning. I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but it's quite bizarre to me :-)
It's a lovely image, and (as you've realized) it would be lovelier still had you cropped off the anomaly at the bottom.
I do hate shots that are the same subject matter as mine but much better done. I do wish this was a bit brighter, but the complex interaction between the building and the reflections and the washing crew makes this really rock.
Unbelievable symmetry, right down to the washers. There's some haloing going on where the sky and building meet, and I'm not sure the processing that's led to that was necessary as I cannot see where it would have really been needed. I think the photo may have been sharper and less grainy without it as well. But no matter, it's a great image in its own right and a perfect entry to this challenge. Nice one.
Love the perspective of the building and windows washers. That's really great. I also love the reflection of the adjacent building and the blue tones here.
What I don't like and can easily be avoided in processing is the haloing around the top of the buildings and the overall exposure is a bit flat and needs just a little more punch with a curves adjustment to really make it pop. Overall I think it's a great shot. Nice eye.
