The K20D doesn't seem to have the dynamic range to allow me to pull more
detail out of the building. On exposure I had a choice either I could
go HDR, not a good possibility since I didn't have a camera support of
any kind with me, or expose for highlights, or shadows. I chose to not
blow out the clouds.

Peter, I like the composition and the background sky. The building itself
seems a bit too dark; brightening it would bring out the textures and contrast
with the sky better, methinks.
Cheers,
Rick

You know it occurred to me that a link to the file on my local machine

A detail of the Armstrong Tire/Pirreli building in New Haven. A
building that could best be described as a whimsical building of the
brutalist school. Ikea, it's current owner would gladly tear it down,
to gain a few more parking spaces, but ironically the very
institutions, historical preservation societies, designed to protect
against concrete monstrosities burying the beauties of the past, are
now protecting the concrete monstrosities. True, this building isn't
as horrific as Boston City Hall, but then what is. The building stands
vacant, and occasionally Ikea will hang a gigantic banner off the side
facing the highway. All that being said, I kind of like it.
