An unusually-designed office building near Cranberry Township, PA. I heard a story that during the construction, a worker suffered a heart attack. When paramedics arrived, they assumed that the actual reason for the call was that the building had collapsed! No, it was designed this way.

I tweaked the colors, cloned a couple small distractions off the sidewalk in the foreground, and took away a small distracting reflection in one of the small windows.

Almost kinda fun. Show less of the sidewalk here in the forground, and more of whats behind it.

Weird. With the buildings being tilted I think it would have more impact if you had held the camera horizontal. That also would have allowed you to eliminate the uninteresting pavement.

I do see the fun slant but the sidewalk line fights for my attention thus lessening the impact of the amazing architecture. I'd love to see this without the cement. 6

Even when I realised the buildings are "inclined" there is still a feeling that the image is tilted. Is the horizone straight? Anyway pretty good architecture pic. Good Luck

neat buildings, too bad this image is a bit out of focus ...

Now this is cool. Really strange at the same time, but really cool. At first I thought it was just the way you took the picture, but then I noticed that the building itself is designed this way.
