I kind of skimmed over this image because it didn't do anything for me and then I thought you usually produce better work. So I opened it in a new tab and viewed in its entirety looks totally different. A large image that is only visible partially at any give time (need to scroll) doesn't give it justice.

Thanks, the building is unusual in its dimensions, and I also struggled at first to make it all work. Glad you think it does.

an image like this mostly works in black&white where trying to contain the harsh shadows/highlights usually brings unnatural looking colors.
Here is mostly about shapes and hues and the noisy shadow detail is not distracting. That's why so many photographers still continue to prefer monochrome where often control over the light in the field is not possible and edited RAW files yield better results.

A beautiful shot. It captures the right moment and has a rich variety of tones from white to black.
