Grace building, a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

The Grace building in midtown Manhatten is unusual in the fact the the front of the building curves gently as it points skywards. This creates some weird effects when using the 11mm setting on a wide angle lens.

Hello Colin,
Wonderful capture of this building. Your POV really makes it look like the building could possibly bend all the way forward. :-) Nice lines from the architecture and sunlight reflecting off the windows. BTW, I recognized this building right away: across the street from Bryant Park, right around the corner from the 42nd Street library. The building to the left of it is in one of my photos. :-)

Hello Colin,
I loved the effect the building and the use of ultra wide angle created here. I thought it was a fisheye but iti is not :) You have taken it from a great PoV. MAybe the exposure is a little dark but it is a wonderful image. Very creative. TFS.

Greetings,
Ahmet
