I am not sure what post processing you did on this picture, but boy is it ever dramatic and beautiful. It makes it even more interesting that I know that building and street. Did you find superman? Excellent, excellent picture.

@Marion: Thanks Marion! Honestly, I didn't do much in the way of processing...just a slight blur and desaturation with curves. As for Superman, no...still looking ;-)
Very apt title blue, and speaking of blue, I love the flash of this in the image, quite a haunting image... I love how you have processed this, very creative!

@Kylie Greenan: Thanks so much Kylie...funny that you mention haunting as hotel with the blue roof is haunted, at least one wing of it is.
wow!! what a view!! just powerful and absorbing! the way this is composed, the 2 gigantic buildings funnel the eye right to the center -- quickly, forcefully and voila! there is the marvelous blue-roofed gem! just fantastic! and those barren branches add a marvelous and eerie fairy tale sentiment... there could be some sort of wicked witch or bad Disney character that lives there... and then the vast and open sky beyond. marvelous light! marvelous glow... marvelous capture! bravo!

@dj.tigersprout: Thanks so much DJ! That hotel with the blue roof is really quite and amazing building. It seem that no matter where you go in the city there is a glimpse of it somewhere, even if just peaking through some of the other buildings. It's a favourite subject of mine.
I was struck by this picture this morning. I am definitely drawn to the moody, atmospheric vibe. For kicks, keep an eye out for my picture tomorrow - they're very similar.
Love the title:-) It does kind of remind me of Gotham City. I like how we're looking between the dark buildings at the soft colors in the light. This is wonderful.
