Photographer’s Note
This is the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. The museum was designed by Richard Meier. He is well known for his architecture and designs and has won many awards during his career. His buildings are very modern and he is known for using materials that are all white. The Getty Center sits on a hill above the city and brightly reflects light on a sunny day. I don't know if there is anything exceptional about this picture in the way that it is presented. I would appreciate your comments or critiques.

Hello Cheryl,
Perhaps nothing exceptional but is a very nice and well composed image. The black and white rendering works very well to create a different texture on the walls, more of a metallic clad surface. The lines of the building travel nicely from side to side of the image, creating a nice flow of the eyes throughout the image. Nice image Cheryl...Meier has created some very interesting structures around the world. The Getty Center is a beautiful complex. Thanks again.
Roberto

Love the bending lines in contrast to the rectangular shape of the tiles.
Well done in B/W. Almost graphic.
Really a work of art!!
