How about fixing the color balance and brightness? Any interest in straightening the converging parallels?

To take a cue from your Taft quote, it is not about meeting my standards. It is about considering another esthetic. Not right or wrong, just different.

As an architect, I'm not a fan of plain glass and steel high-rises that can seem out of place. But this is the worst angle of view for this structure. If you Google "j w marriott indianapolis", you'll see photos from other sides that present this building's design much better.

I am aware of that. This is the view of the building from the lawn of the Eiteljorg Museum during the Indian Market this weekend. That's where I was--at the Indian Market. I was not searching for a flattering shot of the building; I was showing the building as it was represented from the north side, the view the market-goers had. Personally, I think it's an ugly building.

Hahaha, when I saw the title I was expecting to see the Civil War museum downtown.
