Flat Iron

The Flatiron Building at the south corner of Madison Square, where Broadway intersects 5th Avenue, is one of the best known skyscrapers of New York City and certainly belongs to the list of most photographed buildings in the world. Completed in 1902 it was designated a New York City landmark in 1966. Today, it is an office building, but there are plans to turn it into a luxury hotel.

 

In this scene I like the arrangement of the taxicabs, giving depth to the image. The dark-blue of the sky (thanks to Photoshop!) is intended to provide an agreeable contrast to the yellow of the cabs.
