Thanks everyone, for your comments. Some answers: *the sky is unnaturally blue, yes. my Kodak DX3900 seems to do this. I don't know why, but I usually like it, even if it's innacurate. *'the life', I s'pose, is implied. I guess all this building is a side-effect of our life. Patella, thanks for the advice. Spiderman, heh, I'll be happy to see how you use it.
I'm probably giving this a higher score than everybody else, but I don't care. I like the color and the abstact nature of the shot -- even though it's a very concrete (no pun intended) visual of city growth. My only concern is all the compression artifacts, particularly around the rebar. It may not be possible, but saving this as a less compressed .jpg might smooth all that out. (I notice that its file size is only about 1/3 of what it's allowed to be -- use that extra and elminate the compression.) :-)
I definitely like this one... the 'infrastructure' concept works well... the sky looks a little 'unnatural' but it still looks great :) = 8 - jmsetzler
