Waiting at the Bus Stop (With My Camera) (on a snowy day), AKA: The Sneaky Twig

One more shot from my errand running with camera in hand today. I was waiting at the bus stop -- and waiting and waiting having apparently just missed my bus -- when I noticed how the building across the street seemed to disappear into the clouds -- really just a snowy low ceiling. Processed in high key for my Get Pushed challenge from @iwatts. Ian wrote, "I would like you to explore high key photography / lighting and see what you can do with it."
Update -- I like the new title based on comments -- thank you all for the idea of the sneaky twig photobombing the architecture shot!

I not only love the building but your POV, I especially love how the building fades into the ceiling of the sky.

Marvelous !!

Beautiful

Such cool, clean lines and great POV but what makes it funny is that it looks like the branch photobombed your shot!

ks
that little twig snaking in seals the deal for me..
January 3rd, 2014  
nice processing and pov

@jyokota Heehee! The branch did photobomb it, but then I remembered Lisa - @pflaume - once noting that she liked the nature I include in my shots, so I decided not to clone it out!

Great for your challenge...fabulous high key....I like the twig!:)
January 3rd, 2014  
@taffy -- it keeps it "real" and not looking too perfectly like a drawing or something.
January 3rd, 2014  
great shot!
January 3rd, 2014  
Amazing POV! Love the processing. Good eye Taffy....and great job
January 3rd, 2014  
@taffy You have a good memory! :) I do like the branch here, too! I am glad you left it. It creates an interesting contrast/ interruption in the lines. By the way, love the high key-ish processing.
January 3rd, 2014  
@pflaume Thanks! I remembered the comment as until you wrote it, I hadn't really given it any thought -- but then when I thought about it, I realized that was one element of my 'urban style' that I did try to do without being aware of it. So, many thanks for that!
January 3rd, 2014  
wonderful!
January 3rd, 2014  
cool shot
January 3rd, 2014  
This is so neat! One of the things I liked about working in the city was the architecture.
January 3rd, 2014  
Great architectural shot! Love the B&W, the layering of the volumes, and especially that skinny, snaky twig of nature mocking the master builders!! I am so glad you left it in!
January 3rd, 2014  
Great pov, like so many, love that twig :)
January 3rd, 2014  
@panthora I just read your comment to Jim. I love the idea of a snaky (now thinking sneaky) twig! Better title, The Sneaky Twig!

@pixiemac Thanks Sarah -- that's why I love 365. I end up re-seeing my own photos!
January 3rd, 2014  
Yep, love this! That top disspearing into cloudy mistiness makes this so captivating! Oh how I wish there wouldn´t be that branch thou but we can´t always avoid those elements. I really like these high key edits, I find these so inspirational!
January 3rd, 2014  
Ha - love the 'Sneaky Twig'. Great capture - the building goes on and on and the twig is a nice break.
January 3rd, 2014  
Love the shot and love the new title - sneaky twig! Lol! Fab building disappearing into the low cloud and that naughty twig photo bombing your shot! Great capture!
January 3rd, 2014  
A great shot and what a hide that twig has
January 3rd, 2014  
@iwatts. Here is entry 3. Loving this challenge!
January 3rd, 2014  
Beautiful shot and pov. Love that twig.
January 3rd, 2014  
@taffy Great shot - this would work with or without the twig. Like the image though.
January 3rd, 2014  
Great pov - love the high key processing
January 3rd, 2014  
Love this shot. Great PoV and the processing worked really nicely!
January 3rd, 2014  
Excellent shot!! Love how the building is dissapearing and the sneaky twig!
January 3rd, 2014  
Fantastic high-key shot! Wonderful POV and processing!
January 3rd, 2014  
The sneaky twig adds depth and scale. High key added a stark feeling to the building that fits the snowy weather.
January 3rd, 2014  
Love the high key, great pov
January 3rd, 2014  
LOL the sneaky twig! Great pov!
January 3rd, 2014  
A great shot.
January 3rd, 2014  
Great shot, can't decide whether the sneaky twig detracts or not. But I must confess it made me look more than twice.
January 3rd, 2014  
Great perspective! Love the high key effect
January 3rd, 2014  
Great shot, really like the way you composed this image. I think I would have tried to clone the twig out.
January 3rd, 2014  
wonderful perspective and processing Taffy!!
January 4th, 2014  
Great shot, you know I like architecture shots....And the high key + sneaky twig, they make the shot. Brava!
January 5th, 2014  
Great perspective and processing!

I have some software that does an amazing job at removing unwanted objects. I'll email you the results.
