Nice reflection in the clockface and good B&W treatment.

Mentioned it to Mike over PM but I still find the building tilt disconcerting. Though I understand your reasons why, I do find it makes me tilt my head oddly to try to compensate!

This is the text of the PM which I sent Dave over the weekend:

"There are two sets of verticals, the clock and the building. Leaving the building uncorrected with converging diagonals gives the impression of height, so it is quite normal to show this. If I had decided to correct the sides of the building, I would have been in for quite a bit of Photoshop work as it would also have stretched the clock into an oval. I did slightly straighten the image in Lightroom, but felt that having the clock at a slight angle looked better as there was symmetry with the building."
