Post-Processing:
Shot in Raw, adjusted the exposure and shadows to darken the building. Sharpened, and de-saturated. Saved as a jpeg, cropped and resized in Photoshop.
Extra Info:
Some may recognise the building straight away, most will not I think. It sybolizes my city, so is the major landmark for the city. I've never seen a picture of it like this, so it is something a bit different. ;-)

Thanks for the comments audiredred, Nionyn and woodworm. :-)

Looks like I needed the votes audiredred and Nionyn. That's if I stayed in your top ten audiredred. ;-) lol

I did wait for the clouds to be OK, and some bird(s) to be in the frame as well. This bird was in a nice pose, and between the two birds on the building as well. In some of the other pics I took the birds didn't look as good.

It is a view that I hadn't seen before, as I said in my Extra Info, so I'm quite happy with the picture. :-)


Thanks for commenting, and thanks also to those who voted for the picture, should you come and have look at the comments.

Very nice shot. I love the contrast. Was the bird in the center intentional?

I think this is stunning. :-) I don't remember seeing a similar pic of the Liver Building before either so yes, it's different to me all right. Your composition is just perfect for me and your processing wonderfully sympathetic to your subject and concept. It's fab [;-) ] and it's my number 1. :-)
