DescriptionUnstretched. Image of the Rockefeller Building in New York and surrounding cityscape. The Rockefeller building (background left) blends into the blue tinted sky; the image emphasizes the shorter skyline in the foreground including several cube buildings in eccentric shades of pink and red that add unexpected vibrancy to the blue and gray dominant palette. Several cars, a restaurant sign, and hooded walkway detail the street (bottom right).
