Lines and Shadows

My get pushed partner, @smithak, asked me to take an abstract of a building in b&w. This is Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago, taken at night when the building was lit, processed using Silver Efex to heighten the contrast. I liked that cooperative individual who walked over as I was about to shoot and peered out. He (she?) is standing on the deck of the restaurant Terzo Piano, where a friend and I had just celebrated her birthday with dinner. This one doesn't look that good unless viewed large because of the lighting. Apologies!

This has been an amazing day with two photos on TT and all your wonderful comments. Thank you so much for your support that made that happen!

Below is a link an image of the Modern Wing and the pedestrian bridge I posted on the 22nd.

Thanks so much for visiting, commenting and supporting my abstract shot here. These are always so unnerving to post as I find it hard to tell if it works or is just over the top for some reason. I did like the lines in the image, but wasn't sure whether it worked overall.

Interesting. I would not have recognized it.
