It's all about the money, a photo from Hessen, West

Photographer's Note

Eurotower, headquarters of the European Central Bank.
It's all about the money. And about men in dark suits and grey hair.
On the left, partly behind the Eurotower, is Commerzbank Tower, 259m and 56 stories, the second tallest skyscraper in Europe.

What do you think about the small silhouette in a corner?

To fit all in picture required some planning. I backed as far across the street as possible without getting any solid obstacles in front and waited for a while so that a delivery truck left the foreground. Decided to not do any perspective correction to emphasize size.

Interesting contradictions in that place , just 200 meters towards the left you would find the underworld , those greyhaired business oxidated men looking for fresh oriental flesh in the bahnhof brothels ,drug dealers , policemen with a neonazi look alike , dust , two faces of the same world just separated by meters ...About european coin and union i don't believe in it , but it is other issue
My best regards

Hi Kari.

The view is lovely, great but I think it needs a little more contrast between the building and the sky.

Anyway, I like it.

Hi Kari,
I like the way you've framed the bright building against the cloud-enhanced sky. I also think the people and the starry sign add to the compo. You've managed difficult lighting well.
Regards, Pat

Terve Kari,
Ah ah our symbol of power, where the Gods of €€€ live and decide the fate of our countries ! Good framing of this to be famous building, I like the way the € symbol lightens the darkest part of the building.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves
