In the middle of the Illinois building -- a riot of color (reds, aqua, yellow, orange, blue) -- this sculpture barely is noticeable. But once the garish color is removed from behind, it's quite a pretty blue sculpture. And it's huge, despite being dwarfed by the lobby.

Excellent selective colouring. As you said it would be lost if the building was in colour too. What a fabulous building too though. It looks quite futuristic. Like brave new world.
Great SC image and the b&w enhances all the lines and patterns, if I may make one suggestion, there is still some blue tones in the rest of the image, which distracts from the main subject if at all possible I would try to get that in b&w as well
I preferred your later post of a similar image, because I felt that in that version the colour had a rap around effect, whereas is this version the buildings are a mere background.
This is a great example of how selective color can be so effective. The interior of the building is really great in b&w, but it doesn't distract from the blue of the sculpture. Very cool.
Thanks for stopping by -- just tagged you in the original uploaded in overflow album.
