This is fantastic.
Is that the PanAm(now Met Life) buillding ?
 
Yes, and it was called the Pan Am Building at the time. Thanks for the compliments!
 
I can taste the tension in the air. All too familiar, since I was a copywriter for 35 years!
 
I like the composition (use of negative space): it helps draw attention to the subject.
