Description

2nd place Winner, October 2015
This is part of the facade of the Fannie May flag store in Chicago - the varied shapes and sizes of the windows in this art deco building remind me, appropriately, I thought, of a box of assorted chocolates, hence the title. I took some liberties with the saturation :) but this really is a very eye-catching building.
