Hi Mike, that's kind of inspired from you. i remember you saying building look great in B&W so tried a simple B&W and soft focus effect with picasa. Thanks for the tip and nice words of encouragement.

Thanks for the comment plangereis, that's very meticulous of you. I noticed it only after you pointed it out. I was so happy with photo i never bothered to perfectly center the frame. Also it could be because of the cold i just wanted take as many photos as i could and get into some warm place. :P ..point noted.
