The Chrysler building (by William van Alen, 1930) was the highest

(317,7 m) building in the world 1930-1931. It's one of the last

skyscrapers in the Art Deco style. The gargoyles depict Chrysler car

ornaments and the spire is modeled on a radiator grille. It has been

restored in 1995 and it glitters again like it must have in the thirties.

Excellent Photo! I love the colors. It does look like the photo it slighty rotated clockwise, I would straighten it out with a little photoshop magic:)

Am I right thinking that you have made everything but the sky grayscale and made the blue sky brighter? I think the contrast is a bit high, and would perhaps prefer having the building and its surroundings also in color. The sky could still be saturated bright blue.

Could you show us the original image as well?

Un clasico. Quiza recortaria el edificio a la izquierda, para generar un abstracto con la sombra de la derecha y el propio Chrysler, en si, resultando en una piramide de aristas de diferentes colores. La saturacion del cielo no me molesta y proporciona un punto irreal a la imagen
