Very cool!

[Graeme Stevens]

Superb. That is all.

Great picture, very atmospheric. You have made the building look as sinister and ugly as possible.

@pools82 funny when that's a compliment! thanx!

[Je77rey]

Cool shot, love the white background

[Angelieke]

Cool! And definitely depressing looking! And yes thats also a compliment.;-)

[Mark Pratt]

Wonderful shot and processing.
I love that building. My dream is to own it someday and restore it to a hotel. The first thing I would is tear the TV/Radio tower off the top and live in the penthouse...LOL

[Krista Marson]

@mpratt go for it!

[Peter_1966]

Nice shot

[Andy Mcculloch]

Sooo cool.

[Helen K]

An Imposing if not intimidating building making this a great image!

[M.C.Satin]

Amazing how identifiable that building is to me. Love film and love Hitchcock. Your clip is from the shot for shot remake. Never interested in seeing it but still one amazing opening tracking shot. Your photo does do it justice.

@satinscape why, thank you. I put Psycho in my netflix queue as it's been Ages since I seen it last. Gonna revisit it.
