Actually, the buidling itself kind of feels like it wants to be taller... hehe. It was the original public pool/bath house in Auckland (it functions like a YMCA now), and downtown has really grown up around it. So you walk down the street, and just kind of stumble on it. It's now surrounded by a bunch of sky scrapers, and there's a freeway overpass that runs right in front of it.
Very cool. It does look incredibly artificial. Neat that the YMCA building looks hyperdimensional and sharp and the parking garage in back has flattened so much that it almost looks like a 70s matte/set painting. Really interesting photo!

About us:
We know many different types of people: Old and young. Some with background studies in the arts and others in the Sciences. Some may be self-taught tradesmen. Although they have divergent careers and very different upbringings, we've found that many have a common interest in photography.
We all love to press the shutter button, hear that tiny "click" and know that an image is made. Maybe it's a portrait, maybe a landscape, or maybe just a happy accident—the images taken are as different as the individuals that took them.
We formed Le Clique to bring together all of those different people, give them a forum to post their work, and enjoy the juxtapositions, harmony, and contrast between the things they love to photograph. Our contributors have two very simple rules: you must take the photo yourself and it must be for the simple joy of taking it.

The lighting on this building looks really hyper-real. Is it just me or does it look like a model size building?
I agree. It think with a combination of the color and the DOF, this looks like a wee-little building! I always wanted to be taller!
