..just like food critics, there are also architecture critics.. catty, feisty critics.. here’s an excerpt from James Russell’s piece about the BoA tower..
Ungainly Matron
The 54-story result is among the most ungainly forms on the skyline, like a matron who swathes herself in thick layers of fabric in a vain attempt to slim her burgeoning silhouette. The tower climaxes with a spire as impressive as an auto antenna..(more)
..view this in mono..

hahaha. i rather like the variety of angles and faces. the top does seem reminiscent of the radar deck on an aircraft carrier perhaps :p — looks like a really good day in the park. relaxing. 🙂
Whatever else is going on, I sure love those reflections.
Love the wide angle view here…nice one!
Super! Amazing! :)))
lol i thought it was a neat building, it’s different for sure… nice shot Rian, i dig it!!
I like both the mono and saturated color one. The people in the foreground really make the shot more…humanized. So, is this the park where the fashion shows are each year?
thanks! yep, this is where fashion week is held, but i think they’re planning to move it to lincoln center..
He’s a wordy little fella, aint’t he?:-) Looks like folks are attempting to deal with the heat. I like the reflections of structures on structures.
Cool shot with some cool reflections… Looks like the wetaher is nice too 😉
Before having a nap, just relax and look at the sky, u gonna see so wonderful reflections ! 😉
Love the reflections, beautiful shot.
Wonderful shot ! love POV and gorgeous reflection on the buildings ! Very cool .
I guess everyone has opinions!
i like it. i dig the angles and “weird” lines. lovely.
Well I love modern architecture and I really love those reflections!
Nice! Great adding that critique, too! Reflections in the building next door are perfect. Really nice scene.
