I already posted this in the B&W thread, but thought that it would fit better here.

Daniel Burnham designed this building, built in 1904 and peered from these round windows of his office. . This view shows the neighboring Straus Building designed by the successor firm Graham, Anderson, Probst & White in 1924. This office space is now occupied by Goettsch Partners, another influential Chicago architecture firm.

Excellent conversion and composition. The person looking out really adds to the image. I also like the way you incorporated part of the round table in the foreground which mimics the shape of the window.

Thank you Brent for the nice comment and thanks as well to those who pushed the "thanks" button.

 I do like the fascinating history behind it but I also find the composition is spot-on, it is really terrific. It looks like shadowy figure is looking to see who else is working past 5:00pm as he casts a 5:00pm in a silhouette, with an empty office chair thrown in. A great narrative.

Thank you for the kind comments. Never noticed that the figure was at 5:00 I like your narrative.
