Paco, thanks for kind words.  I'm glad you like the series.

Yes, I'll keep the series.  There are plenty of "subjects" here in Tokyo!

Good, I look forward to seeing more.

JJ, thanks!  Recently many new buildings have been or are being built.  So, yes, I won't run out of the subjects.  :)

A magnificent series, Akira. I love looking up at buildings from that perspective. The repetition in patterns become much more pronounced.
Thanks for sharing.

This series gets better and better, Akira.
Ironic enough, I was visiting chiropractor this morning for neck sprain... waiting outside visiting room.. browsing NG "rubberneck syndrome" thread.  ;D

Anirban, I'm glad to know you are enjoying the thread.  Hope your neck will get better and become rubbery again!

I don't know how I missed these until now, and was loving the monochrome until the colour images came along. That first colour image is wonderful and I like it equally lower/ higher contrast. They are all fascinating and a touch other-worldly (that's contemporary Japanese architecture for you!) but my favourite remains that first colour one.

Dave, glad you noticed the thread.  :D

I was attracted to somewhat surreal geometric effect of this perspective partially described by PeterN.

As for the choice between monochrome and color, it depends on the individual building and geometric effect.  The building of the first color image (shot in Marunouchi, by the way) has this characteristic parabolic orange line, which made me decide to process it as the color image.

The color of this image is pretty much enhanced or even exaggerated, but not to the degree of "experiment in color".
