  Nice shot Carol.
The dark background really enhances the building structure and the shadows.
But I think maybe it would be better if the image was like straight? because its like tilted to the right.

  Thanks Sanjay, Isabel and Evy.

This building was too high with no place to get a straight on shot, so of course it appears slanted. I tried lining up the straight line on the right with the edge of the picture, as well as lining up the edge of the building with the other side, but liked the dynamics of this angle better. I like how it seems to converge inward from both sides.

  I love the ivory white columns as they jut into the rich blue sky.
I like how they form a diagonal element.
The slant of the columns is a natural camera distortion due to the angle and perspective.
There are graphics programs that can correct the tilt, but I like it as is.
