 This is the M&T Bank building in downtown Buffalo, NY. It's also where I work as an IT Auditor. (One of these days I'm going to get a good wide-angle lens for my camera, so I can capture the entire scope of this magnificent building.)

Post-processing included the obvious sepia duotoning, auto levels, adjustment of contrast and brightness. I blackened an otherwise very dull gray sky. I also cloned out a distracting cable in the lower left.

Thanks for looking, voting, and/or commenting.

This is a very imposing and beautiful structure. The balance is beyond question and the sepia is so satisfying. Very nice study.

Great DOF. One minute ealier and you would have caught it on the hour to line up the minute hand. Over all one of my favourites.

Interesting shot, like the way the clock is in perspective with the rest of the building.

Prefect framaing was needed to pull off this shot and you nailed it. Strong conversion, and rich details. The title is one of the best this week.

Wow, where do I start! Beautiful balance in composition and framing. The shapes, lines, and textures you managed to capture are fantastic. Great cropping and POV used, with absolutely no lens distortion (that I can see). The muted colors and dark sky provide a great contrast. And the title is fantastic. In a nutshell..... I give a 9

Fun double meaning. I like the solid balance of the composition. The choice of a dark dark sky is good. Nice detail in the architecture, forms and shadows. 7

Great perspective and contrast really make this image kick. Desaturation and symetrical composition work very well here. Well done (9)
