 This is part of the structure that comprises EMP in Seattle done by Frank Gehry and funded by Paul Allen.

The title reflects the initial hope that this structure be constructed out of Titanium but due to the expense, they settled for stainless steel. The last titanium building was the Museo in Bilbao - also by Gehry. Titanium was cheap at the time because it was mass produced for military use but since Bilbao's popularity, the prices have sky rocketed.

The CPL really helped this image sing. The color of the skin was controlled via levels and curves.

Must be some sort of art structure. What I really like is that sky. Woah.

I really like the processing in this one. The lines are beautiful and dramatic - and the tones are deep and rich - but there is a wonderful glow to the image as well. Nice work.

Very nice rendition of the metal panels. I like the title too and I get it :)

I was surprised when I opened this, as the thumbnail doesn't do it justice at all. I'm not a huge fan of architecture shots, but this image is really pleasing.

I like the angle and the sense that everything is off balance. The sky is a deep blue without being completely fake, and the colors of the individual panels of the structure have some amazing colors. I can see why you decided to take the shot.

If this had some small, puffy clouds floating around in the backgroud it would be even better. As is, it's still a nice photo.

This is fantastic, not only do I like the composition but I also love the fact that you controlled the reflections: there's no glare or blown highlights. The smooth texture works well with the title, but the sky is a little too deep for my tastes.
