This is a re-workin' of an image I took a little while ago.

Fantastic shot!
If I was to nitpick (and I never would, would I?) I would try to get the vertical lines vertical. It's only bothering me a bit, I think, because it is so close to perfection.

Excellent work!

Nice shot Paul. I know what Ralf means about the verticals, but equally I'm with him on whether it's worth bothering to work on this. All depends on what the end result looks like, I guess.

I remember when you first posted this and there was debate as to whether the vapour trail enhanced or detracted.

I cannot remember what the consensus was, but I think it is a great shot with it included.

The plane definitely enhances the image IMHO - I love it!

Hi Pauly

Love the image, this is right up my street, and the vapour trail in my opinion adds to the image.

I love the gradations of tone in the wall. Very subtle.

Thanks, George.

The colour version works well too. I'll post it up when I process it.

I think that's an awesome shot Paul. Very minimalistic which is right up my street.
Do you know, half of me loves the vapour trail, yet I also think the image is so strong without it. The composition is perfect. The shot of the building is such that it almost turns into an art form, just the small black air ducts suggest that it is still a building.
Love the different shades of grey in the glass and the smooth tonality in the sky.
A truly stunning shot for me mate that I would seriously consider buying if on sale in a gallery. Well done!

I suspected it might, but didn't dare ask!

Karl, thanks a lot for that.

Here is the colour version, George:

I was expecting green, for some reason. The different shades of blue make a nice contrast with the sky, and the fact that there is effectively only one colour is most fortuitous.
