 The lights are on and no one is at home...your health care dollars at work. Several floors of the Blue Cross Building shot at night from the 20th floor of the building where I work.
I shot this at a long exposure with a warm circular polarizer on the camera. In order to get some of the light back, the image was run through one step photo fix in PSP8, twice...guess that's actually 2 step Photo fix. Ran through NeatImage and then proceeded to get rid of the remaining noise....a LOT of remaining noise, by cloning and some by the blur tool. There's still plenty left. So if you have nothing to do...let me know I'll send you the file! LOL! Did another layer of saturation to get some of the color back, resize, USM.

Nice lines and contrast. Although I think it is visually appealing, it does speak volumes of our lack of respect for energy consumption.

The sense of scale here is impressive. I like the way the lines are working and that you put the corner of the building where you did.
