Superb eye and composition, as ever, I like them a lot, but there is something about your post-processing that just irritates the hell out of me! I think it is either excessive sharpening or a really bad image resizing algorithm that gives almost a 1980s low-res CGA monitor jagged stepping to any diagonal line. I don’t see it in anyone else’s images here.
PS It always makes me quietly chuckle that you find so much beauty in the structures and beacons of capitalism and corporate finance, yet hate nature photography! ;-)

tony.
there is no sharpening. i did add some contrast, but they were almost high-key in shooting. i will PM you a full-sized unprocessed image.

Vuk,
It's not excessive sharpening. It's the resizing algorithm your photo editor uses.

tony sent me a resized version using his software and the algo is less severe on the diagonals but also a bit "soft".
i also need to update my OS soon and there is now a totally revamped version of gimp which behave differently.
in any case, it doesn't really bother me very much and in some ways adds to the cartoon-like effect with these architecture shots which i am often seeking.

it is funny, but i don't actually hate nature photography -- just find a lot of it interchangeable and based on a kitschy foundation. the problem is that pretty things are compelling -- even though often wrong in an artistic sense -- and a lot is pretty in nature. i thought i had transcended the vulgar with the one below yesterday, but this morning i find i was severely mistaken and it makes me think of something from a big russian cold-war era chocolate box that a granny would cut the sides off of and put up on her kitchen wall...
processing/editing pictures whilst having a few drinks is not a great strategy.
