DescriptionUnstretched. Image of the UN Building in New York. The image uses a bright palette of colors - the UN building is baby blue with a sharp contrast into a dark blue, and the surrounding figures include a dark red factory (bottom right), turquoise trees (bottom), a gray street, and brown building with a round, spherical roof. The sky dynamically contrasts the building in burnt orange and brown shading.
