This is the Turning Torso in Malmö, Sweden. The area in the foreground was part of an exhibition in 2001 called "live vision" and is now a real (and very cool) neighborhood beside the water.
The scene was so bright with colors that I couldn't resist it this way, even though it also looked kind of cool with the sky desaturated completely. It was a tough decision! Hope you think this one is okay.
Post processing was all normal adjustment layers: curves,color balance, selective color, levels. Shadow-highlight on the image layer, flatten, smart sharpen,border, and save for web.

Where was this, where was this? I've seen something about its construction....
Ah, Malmö! You can live in it right and wasn't it build because Malmö is rapidly growing because of the Öresund bridge?
Great piece of architecture. Nice photo, unfortunate that the rules don't allow you to clone out the crane in the background.
I like the photo a lot. Nice saturated contrasting colors make it a dynamic photo. Interesting subject. interesting context with the houses in front. I suppose the sky frames the building but it's a pretty loose sort of framing.
A brilliant piece of framing photography. Too bad basic rules do not allow you to clone out the crane and wire distractions. One fantastic image... Good technicals, lighting and perspective. Hope it is not faulted for failing to have framing on two or more sides.
Nice colors, perhaps too saturated, and good composition. I can't see the framed object anywhere, but maybe I have a lack of perception. Anyway it is a greeat shot.
Seems like turning torso fits many challenges? Nice building, but ... has the challenge been met? Maybe a shot from within TT, where window frame was the basis of a shot of the city of Malmö ...
Details: Capture an image where the foreground subject frames the rest of the image.
Other than that, I think turning torso is beautiful, and it is indeed a really nice shot you have made here ...
is this building built this way? I have seen another couple images recently of a building that looks remarkably similar to this one with the same twist.nice image, definite impact.-7-
