Aqua Building, Chicago

Aqua is a skyscraper in Chicago, known for its wavy balconies:

I posted this detail earlier in the Abstracts thread:

The balconies are actually white-ish (while the windows are blue), but I thought that tungsten white balance works visually better with the concept of Aqua (it was mid-day and broad daylight when I took the pictures).

Gorgeous.
But I think that building must exist only in your imagination. It's hard to believe it really exists. But it sure makes a fine photographer's model.

A good decision on the Tungsten WB Slobodan, the resulting fabulous feast of aqua and blue tones makes the building look even better than it already does in white.

Cheers, Sander
