Nanette's right about the perspective. It can be tweaked in Photoshop, but it looks like there's a bit of pincushion distortion at the edges, which will make it very frustrating. I just don't carry zooms for travel photos where architecture might be involved for this reason.
The concept is great. Check back in the _New Yorker_ for an article on the redevelopment of Times Square in New York, which had a great shot by Robert Polidori very much in this vein.

Nanette, no it is right side up. If you look in the lower left bottom you can see a flagpole sticking up.

I've seen this a few times and decided to finally comment. To me it looks like two photos spliced together in Photoshop. I know it's not, and maybe that's what makes it stand out. The keystoning is definitely there but in this case, it shows what the subject is, which is necessary for such an abstract.
If you can shoot this again on a windy day so the flag is waving, it would had a lot more interest and tie everything together. Of course, finding a windy, nearly cloudless day might be difficult.

Great, simple composition and exposure really highlight the opposing geometry and tones here. I'm curious about how you printed it/had it printed; both method and size. I can't decide if I'd like it more as a small, immaculate, jewel-like print or as a mural as dizzying in scale as it is subject. I really enjoy this shot.

Eamonn, actually I have never printed this image. It was a direct scan from a 35mm transparency. I have similar images that were printed at approx 20"x24", mounted on 1/4" Masonite with no border and spaced out from the wall by about 1 1/2 inches so they cast a nice drop shadow against the wall. That method seems too work pretty well with abstracts like this, although it makes my wall look like a web page. ;=]
Thanks all for the nice comments on this image.
