Wicked! This shot is very inspirational to me. I love the tower and the sky is just superb..... I didn't really like the bottom of it though, I thought it was a little busy maybe?.?. Apart from that big tick, ten out of ten, keep up the good work tiger!
Oddly enough, I've taken a very similar picture of Wall Centre, myself. It came out a lot grainier than I would've liked, though, for whatever reason. (It was taken on film, not with my S40.)
Congrats on the second place ribbon. You captured this at such a dramatic moment. The sky simply adds to it. There really isn't much you could to do improve it except possibly removing the white part of the building that sneaks in on the right side of the photo.
Congratulations! It's great to see ribbons won with the Digital Rebel. It proves to me that it's me why I'm not getting any ribbons and not the camera. LOL!!! Congrats! Keep it up!
wow my first ribbon, thx all, it is the Sheraton Wall Center, for those who asked. I did think about cropping bottom half, it just lost way too much of the perspective and I liked the diagonal line. Thanks again, I am so excited! : )
The title is very appropriate - the building just sails at the viewer and appears as if it will never stop. The reflections at the bottom were a distraction at first but seem to add to the impression of the building having a life of its own
Cut some of the stuff off the bottom and I think this is a much more successful image. I would've just left the tower and nothing else. Great contrast between the tower and the sky. The sky makes the image and you did right by making the title describe the sky.9
excellent capture. I assume this is a long exposure looking at the sky. colors are terrific and the shot is tack sharp with no noise. I really like the angle. I haven't decided if I would like this better or not if the reflection of the other building was absent, but either way this is a terrific image. 9
Wish I could find this sort of building near me :-(
It`s design must make it a very prized subject for photography.
You have taken advantage of it`s assets very well indeed and the motion blur of the clouds works very well with the overall sharpness of the shot. I think that the other buildings (in the foreground and to the right) help the composition by adding a splash of contrasting colour. Excellent shot..well done....9
Not sure I like the angle you have the building at, but love the night time tonality, lines, cloud textures and little bit of extra detail to help give some size perspective! What building is this?

I think less exposure, or darkening in the post processing, would have made this a more dramatic shot. As it is, the low point of view and the scattering of lights does make the menacing mood of your title and an interesting composition.
Menacing indeed! Fantastic clarity, especially for a night shot. Great lighting and composition. Did you use a long shutter speed to capture the movement of the clouds? The blur of the clouds against the sharpness of the building really makes this shot for me. And even though there isn't alot of it, I like the coloring of the picture! Great Photo!
I love the perspective in this photo. The effect of the building against that awesome sky in the background reminds me somehow of horror films, don't ask me why (9)
Brilliant, great shot, really fits the challenge. This looks quite futuristic, the reflections on the glass are really nice too. The clouds add a nice extra touch. 10
i absolutely LOVE this shot. it feels so post-apocalyptic. the boxey building at the bottom is a TAD distracting, but the way the clouds are moving and the exposure and tone are stunning.
Very well done. I'm guessing a very long shutter opening, in order to get the movement in the clouds. i almost feel dizzy looking at the sky, while the building is so still and sharp. Very nice.
Very beautiful. I love the way the clouds are in motion. Slight rotation to the left would fix the leaning of the building. Colours look very natural. Very nice shot.
I suppose that this could be menacing to some. I find it engaging and lovely! Very nice composition and super use of a long exposure to get the right light. 10
