NYC - A B&W Perspective

[Jester]

Here is a shot of the Chrysler building in NYC.

For me, I would like to see it perfectly centered and straight.

To offer a contrasting viewpoint, I think that the slight tilt adds a dynamic element to the otherwise static shot of a building. The image does appear to be in or very nearly in informal balance.

I can see your point. If I were going to tilt it, I think I want it to be more radical. An ever so slight tilt just seems unintentional or snapshotish if that were a word.

It was a tough shot as I was leaning out my hotel window and was not excited about falling 20 stories to get a better shot. :)

But I can see your perspective.

Paul, I will respect your right for others to not edit their images. But consider cropping it 240 pixels wide x 600 high, center the needle point and straighten the building. I think it is better than any leaning perspective left or right.

Its not Paul's fault. Its the building...it leaned at the last second. : )
