A view on my 82 year young town hall.
Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcome.

Well, Chris- this is an interesting idea.
Not sure how to react to it, though, because of that differentness.
Certainly well captured and processed.
About the subject matter... always an individual matter, of course:
I'm sort of thinking that I'm overwhelmed by this because it's too "all-encompassing," yet gives no sense of the shape of the building.
Also- having to scroll in all directions just confuses me here.
I wonder if a more "overall" view as a lead-in to a variety of images of isolated parts of the building, where the shadows and lines of the building can be more emphasized than they are here.
Shucks, I not only don't know how to put it into words, I'm not sure what it is I'm thinking .
Charlie
Here's a crop that might help to explain what I mean.

Thank you Charlie, I guess I think I know what you mean.
I was planing to do a set including the whole building and several views.
I ended up with six images but was only happy with one of them.
I guess de colors work too well on this building.

Chris,

Great, great image. But of course I have a particular fondness for lines and angles

Would make a powerful cover for something like Atlas Shrugged or The Fountainhead.

Regards,

Bob

Thank you Bob, I like lines and angles too.
This building was build in 1931 and considered the architects masterpiece.
In the years that followed buses with peoples from other cities would come to have a look at it.

The circular window in the tower adds just the right finishing touch - a wonderful building.

Chris, that is an amazing building for one that is 82 year old. I love the lines and shapes in the image. You could maybe darken the mid tones and lighten the lighter tones to give the tones a bit more separation, just a thought

Cheers Ray

Chris, I think the original fails a little for me because there is no ground line in it and I just can't get vertical bearing, the whole building is pretty fine though.

Thank you Ray. I'm not sure I want more separation but I will have a look at it.

Interesting style indeed, the tower kind of looks like a modern version of the old Italian ones.
