How long did you have to wait for the bird to show up?! :) That's a great detail in this beautiful shot. The lines are great as is the depth of the photo.

@Monique: The birds are stickers, which fluoresce in ultraviolet light, on the glass. They are there to protect the birds since they can see ultraviolet light. I have similar stickers on the windows of my house. Since beginning to use them, we have noticed a sharp reduction in the number of birds crashing into the glass. So, they do work.

Fantastic vantage point and geometric lines in this image. The detail comes out so well with the black and white tones.

Much geometry in this photograph, and I like that. The grain on the glazings obstruct me a little, but that is surely in conditions of shoot extremes. The photograph leans slightly, but that rest a beautiful photography of a place which deserves it ;)

This is a very beautiful photo. Is this your home? No, it must not be as you said you have stickers like this.
