    Wonderful lines, and that curve is perfect….the light is wonderful. I like the shadow in the right hand corner.

    Fantastic.

    Hey Lisa :) Thanks ..a sexy looking building don’t you think – all smooth and curvaceous ?
    Never noticed it till today for some reason..then I couldn’t keep away..looking at angles, light and shade.

  • Birgitta

    Birgitta

    I can see why you’d be drawn to this. :)
    Your tones are flawless though, and I, myself might have
    been tempted to overdo the gamma (or contrast) but you’ve
    done it justice. Flawless exposure!

  • Caroline Gorka replied

    Thank you ! ...the light was just right ..I’d walked past this building a few times, but never really noticed it …that day it just shone out like silk
