85mm Prime, Day 11.
The exterior of the "W" hotel on West 47th Street, around 7:15 p.m.

I tried both oversaturated and b&w versions but ended up leaving it pretty much as shot.

Edit: Thanks, guys, for the positive comments. Yes, I'd like to try again later, maybe with a wider lens.

The red color on the right is from a neon Deli sign just out of frame.

Add me to the overpass crowd, but upon clicking on the thumbnail what I surprise I received. This is abstraction done right, and that light reflecting off the building just jumps off the screen. I'm guessing this would make a great B&W. Good luck on the reshoot; while this looks great as is, a bit wider may make it even stronger.

That's really cool, it has an optical illusion feel to it. Very neat.

I'm with Dwight on this one. I thought it was an overpass, too, but then to see this instead. Very nice. It's an intriguing abstract just as it is, with the variation in the tabs adding a lot of interest. Going to hard to get better, but please show us anything else you come up with. This is pretty cool.

A very interesting and dynamic shot. Love the shadows of the 'tabs' on the other tabs. From the thumbnail it looked like traffic from an overpass. If you don't like it, go shoot it again and again and...

Are you kidding? Lightbars hanging from glass, various strengths of sunlight crosshatching, business pastels...

- But I simply enjoy it.
