Bravo, Warren!
Both this one and the last Building Abstract are great examples of the species. I like the way you used the converging, repeating patter on the windows on the tower and the way you used the structure to frame itself.
This one is much better than the earlier one. The diagonal lines make it much more dynamic. The other one was ok but this is much better.
Thanks for the comments, guys. It's funny, I thought the same thing when I was post-processing #2. I thought it had a much more dynamic feeling than #1. I only took these two shots at this location. On #1, I saw the geometric shapes that made triangles out of the building and its base, and I wanted to precisely show what I saw. In #2, I considered the building more as a building, and composed it to show it a little better and in a more dramatic fashion than #1.
I find that I have to make a conscious effort to think beyond my own comfortable tendencies to make things too orderly and precise (as in #1). I liked #1 too, but in a different way than #2.
As always, I'm curious as to what you other folks think. Hey! This is supposed to be a forum for sharing ideas, please take advantage of this! (off of soapbox now).

I really like the geometry of this one, the repetition of the triangle creates an overwhelming unifying feeling, creates a pattern for my eye to follow through the image, and creates a frame within a frame for the focal element. I think this shot makes better use of the full frame than the first.
There goes Tony again with his newly acquired design knowledge. I'll just make a very simple comment and say I like it much better also. Other comments have already been made but it I feel it makes a more dramatic impact when the black silhouette is not parallel with the frame as with the first shot.
Hey Tony, you have to post a picture so that I can try that fancy design language on you. Of course, I would have to fake it since I didn't take the class :).
