C=XXXXXX={ well, almost
well that's what this makes me feel, like those boxes are all contracting and expanding, reaching up to that top corner. evidently i stared a little too long because im still feeling a little dizzy writing this comment

Great capture. Excellent use of perspective to give this a vertigo-inducing feel; it definitely looks as though the building is being pulled outwards as the eye moves -- no, is drawn to the top-right of the image. Good stuff.

The composition for this piece though simplistic is very effective for its repeptetitve theme.
Am not sure if its cropped or you're using a 120medium format, but the whole idea itself is very well placed and shown here.
The way how the picture leads my eye from the bottom left all the way to a seemless horizon itself, in its on dimension.

It is cropped. I use a Canon G3 Powershot with 4.0 megapixels. It captured the whole of the side of the building and then some.
But the idea shown was what I had in mind when I pushed the button.
Thanks!

Excellent shot. It's a very cool illusion. Repetitive patterns make wonderful photos. : )

True ... It is hard to find a repetitive pattern on the same scale as a building, that's one reason I took this photo.
Thanks for the comment!
