 ....of the 1700 Market Street Building. I have taken images of this building from several angles and used at least one in a prior challenges but it was different portion of the buildings, lower in one, and different patterns from this (I think one was for a BW challenge...Well at least the image was BW...the other was color). I had tried this angle before and I never quite got it the way I wanted. This is very close to what I wanted.

Also...this is one of the buildings where I was questioned as to why I was taken pictures of it by a security guard. When that ocurred (two years ago, I think), I happened to have been wearing my jacket with our company logo on it. It certainly worked out. When the guard saw it, he said, "Oh....you work for ---! No problem." Seems we have offices on several floors of the building so it was suddenly OK. I made sure I had the jacket on when I took this....had my picture ID with me just in case.

Post: Convert from raw in PSElements 3.0 (not sure if there was and exposure compensation but if there was it would have been only +0.33). Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Layer of curves adjustment. Healed/cloned dust spots. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.

Very dizzying Robert. Congrats on a nice finish! Re: your story, wouldn't anyone with malice on their mind develop a nice cover? Such as a company jacket. But i'm glad someone's looking out for your safety. :)

terrific, but I might have preferred a slight counter-clockwise rotation to level the grid(s)....(see the downward "drift" moving left to right along the upper edge?)
