I really like the saturated (but not oversaturated) reds in the first image. I'm not sure exactly why, but some of my older lenses have a tendency to oversaturate the reds.

Thanks - while I never add saturation to my postprod, I sometimes have to take away some, because yes, these taks are very strong in vibrant colours.

Wow, the lines in the third image almost gave me a headache; they're a bit like the dazzle paint used on warships to confuse U-boat captains.

Ha - funny because this building (Bronx Hall of Justice) is a headache to look at, when seen in light of the surrounding neighborhood/architecture. That shot (and the prior one) were taken from the rooftop oft he adjacent building, where I happen to work.

The shot is of the very top of the building; unlikely any pedestrians can see that as pictured... but helicopters could :O

There's someone up there - - S-M-C Takumar 28/3.5 on *ist D:

Two with K-3 III and the 8-element Super-Takumar 1: 1.4/50, both at f/2.8. There is some colour fringing but even with the high pixel density of the K-3 III the lens is very sharp.

Thanks for letting me know and the building is quite 'special' I'd say. Plenty of repetitive elements that could make for some nice photography, though.
