I probably agree on the whole. The building is actually the offices of (my 
wife's) law firm and I was up to pick her up on our way out for the evening 
- as 
ever I had stuffed a Leica in my pocket. This was only the second or third 
time 
I had been there since they moved in in the summer. As a result these are 
somewhat "grabbed" and pretty unofficial.

I was concerned that the complexity if the building and the low light would 
be 
as much of a detterent to this kind of photography, so I tried to hook on 
the 
guys in front left to give a sense of scale/perspective.

The second picture was grabbed over a balcony. There was going to be a third 
of 
the sheep (yes, I mean it that is not a typo! :-), but I wasn't carrying a 
90 
with me so that went by the by.

I like it because it's simpler! I also really like the pools of light 
reflected 
off the brushed steel surfaces, which I think is a real stength - and 
signature 
of - BW400CN.

Any that you think particularly good?


Again, thanks for the omments and advice.
