A bit of selective color again...
First steps. Second steps. Only foward. Running in circles.

Hi Zahai... I like this so much I am commenting again! I love how this could be two pictures joined by the rail. Almost a 3-D pic!

I love the double arcs at right against the roof line arc on the left. I'll recognize my own prejudice as a purist in saying that I actually find the color distracting here - I think you have a fine black & white that would stand strongly on its own. I hope you'll forgive the 'two-cents worth'.

@Stephen Phillips: Thank you for your feedback. Yes, the image might have worked just as well as a complete b&w, i made the choice of having color in two places, however, because i wanted to preserve the beautiful colors of the original image. While my main focus was definitely on the structure and dynamic shape of the building, i didn't want, and also didn't want you to, miss out on a glimpse the original scenery. Of course, liking it or not is a matter of personal perference. :)

Love the selective colors effect. Your shot reminds me of The Jetsons cartoon and all the beautiful and strange buildings high in the sky!
Brilliant!
