there is also a really stunning opposition between curves/straight lines, left/right...
great photo

I love photos taken from this perspective ... enjoy taking them myself ... enjoy the strange looks people give you when contorting and craning to get just the right angle on a shot like this which is obviously taken in a very public place. Ok ... enough biographical response.
The picture itself ... the interplay of straights and curves is one of my favorite subject matters when it comes to architectural photography, along with the way light plays with disparate elements of a building (good architects think about such things when designing a building, and great architects make light seem almost a living, breathing thing). You have captured that nicely here, particularly shaddow (see the upsidedown "L" shaped shaddow which continues the downward motion, right to left, of this composition). The steel structural tube on the right side catches the sun in such a way that it "brings the inside outside."
Elegant and deceptively simple. Must

Well, I'm glad you appreciate it. Sometimes I think I type too much ... you know, monopolize somebody's comment page with one long overblown critical comment from me. Hmmm ... I am sure I'm not the only one on DA who comments like this, but thanks!

It is scary (to me) that you feel you learn from my comments. Goodness me, I don't have any formal training nor have I studied art, photography or composition. I am a total amature! Are you sure learning from me is a good idea?

You do that in a exceptional way. analyzing and getting into the spirit and details of the picture. Thats a reward for me, and the conversation we have (like today, on several works) is something i learn from.

I had never saw Azrieli from this angle.
Very nice!

Very nice. Though I usually prefer harsh contrast, the soft light in this piece works very well.

great perspective on the coolest tower in israel (imo)
the composition is good with the glass cube part in the right side...
what i really like here is all the geometric figures and lines going sideways, upways and all ways 
the only thing i would change is take the photo in a different time so the sun would be in a different position resulting in loss of that shadow on the bottom of the building...its a little too eye attracting..it distracts in my opinion..
other than that..

The eternal battle of good and evil, black and white..
I like how you gave the "good guys" the round tower and the apparent advantage (you can be such an optimistic (: )
And the "bad guys" the stability and shininess of evil plotting...
Oh dear, have I gone too far?
Anyhow, love the comp and sepia!
A brand new angle of this way-too-much-photographed subject. (:

You are so deep, that my pictures wait for your insight to be defined

Lines tracing lines crossing diagonally shapes discontinued by the corp = high impact.
I wonder when you will put one up where I can just go and say: this sucks. You know how you always want the impossible...

I like black and white pictures but somehow it's missing color here, maybe it's not so suitable for builindgs? I really don't know.
it's a perect composition, very nice sunplay in the glasswindows from the building on the right. The crop is wonderfull, only the color seems to be missing for me.
great shot
