Under the Sony roof

Why this photo appeals to me:

• The proportions and the arrangement of the light and dark areas within the frame create a powerful, graphic image.
• The straight lines and their angles, in contrast to the curved shape of the roof, create a pleasing sense of tension.
• The fact that the dark area in the bottom right appears to be a real, multi-storey block of flats evokes a sense of wonder at the apparent scale of the roof.
• The fact that not only architectural forms but also natural forms – such as whole trees – have found a place beneath the roof adds to that sense of wonder.
