I just love your title!
I really like this chaotic feel brought on by the power lines and shadows they made. A great contrast to the uncluttered building.

Great picture Grant, but what is international about this business ?

@Observing: believe it or not, 'cosmopolitan international' is the actual name of the organization in this building. the sign is on the other side. it's probably a little unfair to post a picture of the back side of the building with this title.

Love the contrasting blacks and whites. Nice composition.

Lovely quality, did you use an orange filter to capture the grayscale sky in that super shade? I used to use various yellow/green/orange/red filters back in the day with TMax, lovely film, was always my favorite.

@Richard_Irwin: thanks richard. it was red. tmax is my favorite also.
@Twelvebit: no irony, i promise (see response to observing)

Oh say, and I should add, you seem to have a good eye for compositions like these. I'd probably have been inclined to frame this scene without the foreground, thereby producing an image not half as good as this one.

You sucked me in on this one. I'm a mega-sucker for lines. Love the power line shadows and diagonals.

Agree with Mindy - it is those lines crisscrossing and bundling up the building that draws one in.

Your compositions are quite distinctive, always taking good advantage of interesting light and how its captured on particularly graphic buildings. Nicely done here as well.
