Def. one amazing B&W Photo...how do you create that deep darkeness yet so clear? How do you create that storm-is-coming mood? I really like this photo and even the link of where you got your inspiration from.
Good Shot!
The tones in these images. I love how some areas of the building look as if they are bathed in light. Oh, and the plane trail coming across the corner of the top image is perfect.
If you like this kind of stark black and white architecture photos check out the last edition of LensWork. The photos from William Fuller are striking.
Terrific architectural shots. I love the B&W tones. While I like the orientation of the second image, I think I prefer the first one for the lighting on the buildings enhances the patterns for me.
It's the Evil Towers... must be owned by Microsoft.
A little insight into the post-processing would be cool. That's a severely dark but clean sky. Did you start with a polarizer? They would probably make great prints (especially the top shot).
I'm a little late to the party, but I finally made it. Thanks so much for thinking of my stuff. Now I know why I saw a big spike in viewers this week. ;-)
You know how much I respect your vision and your work, so I'm flattered you'd even think of me, especially when I owe the masters, primarily Berenice Abbott, a lot of credit.
I love these rich, dark tones. I like how in the first picture, the sky has nice texture but it doesn't distract from the buildings, which lead the eye toward that jet trail. In the second picture, I feel like I can't decide what to look at, the buildings or the awesome sky - i guess the tension could be a good thing, depending on the desired effect. Nice work!

Beautiful clouds and lines...feels like the old b&w twilight zone films.

Have to say I prefer the top image, maybe its the jet stream, maybe not. Either way perfect processing here.

Really nice, the volume of the buildings is perfect, and that black sky... I'm sure a print would look superb.

Very beautiful! I especially like the top image for the more unusual framing, the darker tones and the clouds.

You've made the buildings look like they are a natural part of the scene.

the first one is probably the best pic ever taken of the td centre buildings. the b&w and the plane is perfect.

Hard to choose between the two, they are both amazing :)
But I suppose if I was pushed I'd probably opt for the top one. I think the aeroplane adds a little bit extra to the shot :)

I like how ominous the photos are. Going so dark on the photos was a great choice.

I love how on the first shot you can see ghostly reflection of the clouds in the building.
