I think most people struggle between their artistic instincts and career goals. The smooth curves and artistic sheen vs. the strict hard lines and angles of the 9 to 5.

well atleasts that what I tell myself, I shot this with a circular polarizer and maybe thats why the blue sky was uneven, tried but couldn't get it between cyans and blues in Basic editing.
converted from raw, cropped and rotated, shadows/highlight, channel mixer, selective color, curves. flatten reize NI, went back added two more selective color, curves, channel mixer, surves, reisze again save for web, not the best workflow buthats what I did, lol.

Nicely seen and captured, and I like the description behind the title. Mostly I like your description of your workflow - that's why I have the "History" thing turned on in Photoshop - I'd never be able to remember what I do sometimes! The blue is indeed a sort of electric blue, but it suits this photograph just fine.

Interesting curves, angles and reflections. Its cool the way the reflection almost looks like another building. :)

Great shot, great architecture and on and on. I'm not sure quite how much of a part perspective plays in this though. (Obviously it's there, but how much better is the picture because of it?)

Excellent composition--I like the contrast of the curved and straight lines.
