 This could be my personal favorite, but I need to give it more time. For me, this meets the challenge requirements as my eyes are drawn to the dark lower left corner. I see the light building, center right, as transparent and part of the sky. Hence the title "Leaning Sky". This buildings slight left tilt and black left edge along with the surrounding shadows pull it left. The tall left leaning air vent, with a dark shadow on top, farther emphasize this unbalanced or unstable feeling. I'm happy with my capture of this unremarkable subject and hope you enjoy.

tones feel flat, the sky could use some more contrast
