 A model "skyscraper" with a model King Kong holding a small yellow biplane aloft is the theme for a pachinko parlour. Pachinko is a mindless pinball game that's very popular in Japan.
Lens used was my new Pentax 80-200mm, zooming during exposure. Exposure compensation was set at -1.
Converted to jpg from RAW, resized, rotated, USM.


See KingKong for what's on top.

Love it! The abstract nature makes it of interest, and the color combinations of warm & cool make it successful. Can't make up my mind about the decision to include the text, if I scroll up and crop out the "Messe", I feel more strongly drawn to the image. Nice Work!

Though this is somewhat more abstract, I find the colors and composition to be exquisite. I think you really nailed it with the exception of the faint line in the lower middle portion of the shot.
