Expertly done, Bill, and I love the perspective exaggeration!

This is a very clean comp which I often find difficult to get in these situations. The color is also very well handled.

Great lines and colors. I like the room light at the top on the left and the other one sort of in the center on the right side of the building. Personally, I find the one on the left edge distracting, but maybe it was left there for balance. I'm also wondering if perhaps a transform or transforms followed by a crop might have been used to straighten up a few lines.
Just me, but I think it would have been helpful to have some definitive vertical or horizontal anchor. For example, maybe the left top of the lower portion of the building could have been brought parallel to the bottom edge of the frame; just that edge.
Alternatively, perhaps the front corner of the high-rise section could have been brought parallel to the left edge of the frame.
You sort of have an ancor like that in the base of the building where it meets the gravel, but not really.
I am not saying that everything should be square; I'm just saying that to my eye it would be helpful if there were one clear line in the image that was so with respect to the edges of the frame.
Again, just me; The old saying may apply here; one gets what one pays for
If I didn't think that this image had a great deal going for it, I wouldn't have taken the time to express what my subjective reaction to it is.

Great light and cool perspective. I love the warm and cool tones, too. Very well done, Bill.

Excellent use of color and the comp shows it all off very well.

I just figured out this one was selected as weekly pick a while ago.
Thanks for your comments.
