Description
The Sun Life building in downtown Montreal, and the CIBC building, in the window. Taken with a fuji finepix 40i, and manipulated in Photoshop 7.Note the thin wire along the windowsill. That's to shock pigeons so they don't muck up their building.

cant think of an exclamation for it, how bout ZURMPH! that's perfect. it appers to be an ancient city devouering the sky scrapers. Sort of Unicron form TRANSFORMERS the MOVIE...no? *cough* i AM exsesively diverted by this photograph, but im quite abhored to find out about Pidgon Shocking! Oh Me!

Wow, I luv the idea and the way you pulled it off. Great contrast (also the black and white versus the steel-blue). The capture (that how you call it?) is nice too.
Btw, thanks for your comment and fav on my Natalie Portman. Here's the fav right back!

reflection of new inside the old... i like how you removed color - very appropariate, and carries your message well.
i'm iffy on the angle - maybe it would be better head on, it looks fine like this as well. i'm just wondering how that would look, ya nno

[1st Thought] Human cruelty.
[2st Thought] Beautiful of the two colors standing side by side.
[3st Thought] Blue and gray, a nice day, yet depressing.
[Overall] I like the angle of the shot, the blue and the gray gives off a very different feel to it.
[I have a question] Do you come pass this place many time?
[Suggestion] n/a
[What i see] To protect it's artchitectual deisgn from ruin by birds that shits, they had implimented a deadly device that only kills those who come to bothered. Yet to keep the building clean from bird shits, you would see dead birds laying on the ground before the entrance to the building...so you have to ask yourself, what are you trying to prevent?
