What a fabulous building, great colors. I may have rotated just a tad to the left.

Move in a little closer to get rid of the distracting background, tilt the camera so it's vertical and you've got a shot here.

I love the shot...made me look it up to learn about it.I'll probably never stay there for $2000 dollars a night but it is a fascinating building both inside and out.

I think this would be a much stronger image if the lower section with the spotlights was removed.

Like it. A very smooth and subtle blending of the shades. Seems a little skewed at first, but a straightedge on my screen tells me that's a visual illusion. I want to check back after the challenge and find out how you got such a good night shot.

the lights on the right bottom side distract. perhaps a view from the top down would really be a unique point of view, this view has been done to dead
