I like how this image comes across in B&W.

Beautiful job keeping all the vertical lines parallel. No evidence of key-stoning.  In fact I think you may have corrected a bit too far with your subject buildings almost seeming to lean toward the camera.  You did run this one through Photoshop didn't you?  Anyway, it seems that you are well on your way to mastering the media.  I especially like the way you've handled your cityscapes using lenses from 17mm to 200mm.  Some of the images in your portfolio are cliche' NYC, albeit nice ones, but others are refreshing with unusual perspectives due to your unique artistic eye.  Best, LM.

Magnificent.

Hello everyone,

Firstly a big thank you to all for your kind comments.

In response to Len, I have not used Photoshop to correct the perspective of this picture but only for processing black and white. In fact I use a tilt/shift lens, the 17mm f/4 TS-E, a special purpose! Despite the capabilities of this goal, I make a choice. Either I changed perspective or I switch my camera back while compensating with the maximum shift. I prefer the second option and I do not regret my choice. :-)

Thank you again and stay tuned for new pictures...

'Artistic License' Rules!  Best, LM.

Nice image!  I think you certainly should have used the maximum rise possible on that lens in this situation.  That tall building is what it's for.  Even though you nearly got all the verticals straight, the image is still quite distorted.
