Dear Avi,
I got it. Yes, I think you "had" to over sharpen it in order to get the starbucks logo in the form of a wheel...what a clever thinking this is! I became a fan of yours after seeing a series of recent post with unorthodox look. There was the statue of liberty and now the starbucks. And the tilt is necessary to make the idea into effect!! I hope everybody notices it. Great idea...you deserve a lot. I love unusual perspective where imagination has a great role to play, this is just a great example of what I really want to see from my photographer friends.
I admire your work.
Regards,
Bhabesh

Nice shot dear Avi.... being in b+w I didn't recognize it right off and this is a good thing...as it made the image more abstract IMHO ...(I don't drink much coffee) and to me this was an attractive feature !
Great contrast !!!

Ei chhobi-tar pechhone planning achhe. Tahole boli shono:
NYC-te eshechho kina jani na, tobe there are East-West running roads (called 'Street's) and North-South running roads(called 'Avenue's), crossing each other approximately at right angles. Onekta amader Kolkata-r Salt Lake-er rastar moton. So, ekbar chhok-ta bujhe gele tumi jehkhane khushi jete paaro. Ta, the Empire State Bldg stands on the 33rd street, and between 5th and 6th Avenues. Ami oi 33rd street dhore bohuubar hetechhi.. ar por por 3-4 te frame amar mathay eshechhe, jegulo bhebe rekhechhi, pore eshe tulbo.
This is one of them. Baki 3-te tolar por temon jomeni. Tai katiye diyechhi.
Thank you for liking this so much. I feel very satisified !!!!

Well, Avi, I was just in Manhattan last weekend. I should have had you come see me. My friend and his son went to the Empire State Bldg but I opted not to, been there, done that. But should have done it again, I guess.

By the way, this picture is not cropped.. this IS the original framing.. in fact, it was shot in B&W mode also.. just some sharpening and a border added.

Great shot, which you've CC'd, so here goes...
As it's something of a graphic concept (circles and rectangles), I wonder if it might not be even stronger if it were rotated right a couple of degrees so that it was perfectly aligned with the frame.

Love the perspective on this shot. Didn't notice what Bhabesh immediately spotted - the fact that it looks like a wheel - and still was drawn to it and liked it. After reading his comment had a new appreciation for the image. Great angle and great finish.
I've had a look through your portfolio and really like it... very diverse, unique and quite often abstract. Creative images always executed to perfection.
