Urban landscapes: the angles of windows
DUBLIN CONVENTION CENTRE, IRELAND
A glorious example of modern Ireland, this structure was designed by American-Irish architect Kevin Roche and shortlisted for an Engineers Ireland Excellence Award in 2010, the year it was completed.
Most photographers justifiably focus on the front, which looks like a glass beer can angling out of a traditional building. I made lots of pictures there, but then this subtle side view grabbed my attention – especially when I tilted the camera to create diagonal lines. I emphasized those lines by converting all of the jpeg, except the windows, into black-and-white.

What a a great shot, Frank. A superb result.
Thanks! Takes a creative eye (one that appreciates more than postcard pictures) to like this photo. 🙂
