I have photographed this building several times already and didn't know what it was. I just liked the architecture and lines. Plus, it does create some great reflections.

Thanks. The deep blue sky that morning really helped bring out a 3-D look in my black and white processing.

My process --

Took the photo in camera RAW
Edited in Adobe Camera RAW - espcially under the HSL /Grayscale section. If the sky is deep blue you will want to reduce the blue color slider to make the sky darker and more dramatic. I like to do the opposite with the green slider in order to bring brightness to the trees so they contrast with the sky more. It's kind of a faux infared effect. without being as overly dramatic.

similar effects can be acheive in Adobe Photoshop CS3 in a black and white adjustment layer.

That's nice. I thought you had used a polarizing filter.
