I like the juxtaosition between the architecture. Nice composition Steve. The foreground has a silver sheed to it as compared to the sky blue background.

Steve,
This is really the "after and before" composition. Both of the buildings are wonderful in a different way. I've been in downtown Philly and have seen both buildings. I'm trying to figure out where you shot this from and how.
Great challenging photo.

Hey, I just realized that Steve's picture and mine would be a good diptych! Another case of SteveR and myself being eerily on the same wavelength in our postings.

Hi Dolph - I made this shot from across the street of the east side of City Hall. I may have walked back eastward on Market Street, too. I took it with my Tamron 18-270mm lens towards the long end.
I had to tilt the camera upward to make the shot, then corrected the LBS ("Leaning Building Syndrome") in Photoshop - it cut off part of the City Hall portion, but I had left enough empty space above 1 Liberty Place to keep it in the shot.
A large part of the appeal of the image to me is also the "after and before" aspect - I very much like Helmut Jahn's postmodern building and also the highly ornamented City Hall :-)

Warren... that's amazing, I didn't notice it at first, but you're right!
Are you sure we aren't related??? ;-)
