Exactly what I was thinking. It's a gorgeous rendering, but suggests a 
horizontal perspective to my eye -- like Christina Hendricks.

Interesting angle of view.  I like the detail and sublte shades of
color in the architectural details.

I believe I just voted for this on the PPG .  .  .

I like it a lot. The contrast level and tonality work well IMO. The only thing 
I would suggest is a slight rotation so that the ornamental strip on the 
forward part of the roof at frame right is parallel to the edge of the frame. I 
think that when it's this close to being aligned, it begs to go all the way.

Well, that was just my thinking at first. I struggled with it for a
long while but decided in the end I liked the tension of having it at
a slight angle. I can see your point, though.

I would yell "MARK!" for that last sentence, but the guy who compiles the 
annual quotations apparently rarely pays attention to such calls anyway.

;-)

Very cool pic, though. Highly processed, yes, but it works. Super composition, 
interesting angle.

Mark,
I like the image, but that's not how the Boston Public Library steps
looked the last time I saw them!
(In it's heyday, J.I.Case - the Racine Wisconsin agricultural
equipment maker built a headquarters
that looks like the Boston Public Library - based on a postcard the
CEO sent home to staff.)
