These are the intimidating symbols of corporate wealth. Many hate them, but they represent a society ready for tomorrow! Nice capture. 7

Would have scored better had it been straight instead of leaning over.

Not lucky with the weather - the clouds over Frost tower take away from the supposed message of affluence, they are more of an indication of instability in the global economy.. or at least I see it that way.

Another little thing that is distracting is the perspective and the distortion of edges caused by the angle of the shoot. Being farther away would have alleviated this issue.

Still a powerful shot, and in the upper half of the challenge for now.

Frost Bank??

I think this would be fun with some of the filters that distort and contrast the colors. Might just be interesting and fun. I think this is a decent shot, but doesn't send me to the moon.
