Interesting design! I'm sitting here thinking of how to crop this and add in dish antennas, satellites and spacecraft.

You would crop it...?

For the space image I have in mind. I would crop it so that the crane vertical was horizontal and I'd add in more "space"...

It just flashed on my brain that this would look cool as a space structure.

This is a very strong tonal contrast! My retinas are suffering.
But the photo is artistically very beautiful, Brian, and definitely the non-architectural intruder, the crane (an element that is bound to disappear in the future) adds rather than subtract.

Sorry about your retinas, Gianluca; I am grateful for your sacrifice, though.

Thanks for your comments. By the way that crane is long gone. I took this picture a couple of years ago. The building is now complete and probably inhabited by now. (It was built to be apartments.)

The crane offsets to the building’s curve nicely. Good contrast there.
