Title: Aqua Building, Chicago
Post by: Slobodan Blagojevic on November 03, 2014, 10:23:13 pm
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.

Everything in this photo oozes class and simplicity. It's pure beauty!

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

Both are fantastic, the first I find better because of the context.

I've never seen a building like that.
