Reminds me of a certain paradox. Love the classic shot!

I think this belongs in "digital art" as it is obviously one side of an image mirrored, hence the absolute symmetry. One only need look at the precise mirroring of shadows, reflections and stains to see that it's impossible for it to be otherwise, unless there were two suns on that day, and other space/time anomalies. Why try to pass it off as a real building?
It's not bad for a mirrored image in Photoshop.

While I agree with you, I think it warrants a place in the photography category.

Sure. If I were the artist I'd acknowledge it's a mirrored image though. It's really a piece of cake technique: [link]
Not to disparage the quality of the end result, which many people rightfully admire! It's good work!

to answer some of your questions about this image i posted this [link]
thanks for your comments and for viewing

Cool! I'm surprised that you really did get off such a symmetrical shot to begin with. I can appreciate the end result more now, and also see how you improved on your original photo. Unfortunately for some viewers who are very familiar with mirroring images, or maybe it's just me, once you used this technique the implication is that we are just seeing a section of the building reflected. I think the other cloning and warping techniques would have worked better for me, but I'm just one person. The ball on the very top that is now two balls, and reflected on the inside on both sides is the dead giveaway of a mirror technique, and obviously unnatural. It's up to you, but I'd lose the second ball and go with near perfect, natural symmetry.
Incidentally, while I'm not that crazy about this image, I saw a lot of other photos and drawings in your galleries that are outstanding!
Congrats on the DD!

Is it just my imagination or does it look evil...? o_O

evil? a little foreboding maybe, but i felt no evil while i was there.
thanks for viewing.

Ha, thats true. I just think about "Faces in Places" when I see this and it kinda looks like a evil laughing face, looking down on the viewer. X'D
But it's a magnificent shot.

Gotta admit I'm partial to the ol' blue and white combo. And I love three-point perspective shots of buildings. Really punches you in the face with depth.

the first thing i thought when i saw this was: HOLY CRAPZOIDS! This is an awesome shot! noone should 'crit' this! What a clean, blue, white, silver building! Just too cool. You sure can take a shot!

I used to live in Mpls. Would you tell me what building this is as I can't place it. Besides that I really like the photo- the sharp angles and contrast of colors.

thank you, i dont remember the name of the building but its in the industrial area off of 35w near Stinson and Broadway a couple miles north of downtown Mpls.

Thanks for the info. I actually will be in Mpls for a week around the first of April. Sure hope it doesn't decide to snow while I am there. Its been known to happen.
