Bet ya can't guess

This is a photo of One Observatory in Manhattan. Doesn't look like it eh? If you go there at night and stand right up to the corner of the building, put your camera on the corner, and shoot up this is what you see. The very base of the building is square and it tapers as you go up the building. It ends in the photo at the taper.

I had a slight shadow in the RAW file that I cut out, but this is what I ended up with. It was really difficult getting it even.

POV can be a terrific thing to play around with, as you demonstrate so vividly here. Our everyday surroundings no doubt hold many photographic treasures hidden from our ho-hum eyes. Like a lot.

The subtle cloud striations really do finish this shot off so well.

A golden pyramid, it makes me think of ancient Egypt. What a shot, well conceived and executed.
