I don't usually like selective desat but...

Desaturated all channels in RGB and CMYK apart from red to obtain selective desat effect (without making any selections - hence lots of low level red throughout picture); worked on brightness & contrast slightly; resize, USM, brought red and green up a little on colour balance to soften b&w, save for web.

Many thanks to those who voted and especially to those who commented. The "huge bird or rocket on the distant roof" is Sir Norman Foster's Swiss Re Tower, or the "Gherkin", as it is affectionately known!

Very unique viewpoint. There's something about this that I like (I'm just not sure what it is). I think it might be the way the splash of orange sets off the dull color of the buildings and gate. Nicely done.

What is that huge bird or rocket on the distant roof? The reddish tones work nicely here.

Nice job. I really like the how much the tape stands out.

Interesting perspective here. I like the composition. Good dof too. Did you use a little bit of selective desatting here? If so, nice job, tastefully done and works well in this case IMO. Good texture in your subject here also. The photo has a nice "feel" to it I find. Nice job.
