Interesting picture and better notes. It is a pity that the elevator, on the right corner, is lost in this beautiful image. Less than 1/20 of the image is taken by the elevator and its line. I think you should have made another composition giving more importance to this transportation way, even with a loss for the Cityscape. It is not possible to put everything in the same frame

A beautiful urban panorama and a very interesting note. I can see that it was taken from a window, but it's still a very sharp and well composed shot. A big smile here...
