A building on South Wabash, Chicago. I was on my way to Central Camera and just loved the leading lines when I looked up!
I debated with myself about removing the building on the right but left it in for context. Wabash runs parallel with State Street but is much narrower and the L runs down it covering the middle of the street. The first time you hear the train pass overhead you will look up!

It's very stark, and you can really feel the street closing over.
I love the Moiré effect towards the upper right, it gives it a dimensionality...

Strong, sheer image.
I'm glad you left the other.

Great! Wonderful perspective and framing.

I'm glad you left the building on the right also... it adds context, scale, and adds to what would've been an negative space. well seen.
