Thanks for all the comments everyone.

I really wanted to nuke the double-sun - caused by taking the photo from behind a window (unfortunately we can't open our office windows... but then looking outside - sometimes it's not so unfortunate!) - but with the Basic Editing it was not allowed...

To be fair to Beijing this is not an everyday occurrence... but it is more frequent than is comfortable. There can be some beautiful days too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for everybody, that the Olympics turns out to be a good event for all.

I really wish there wasn't the shadow thing on the sun, but one of my favorites... I'm having a hard time breathing just looking at it.

Nice moon shot har har. Can't wait to see them drop like flies for lack of oxygen.
This is a nice shot. Beautiful tones. Simple, and I love simplicity. One nitpick though, that halo was caused by your lens I think and it takes away from the image imo. But then again...8 Nine!

Was this taken through a window? (double sun effect) A good idea, needs more "layers" of buildings though to be even more effective.

I like this image, it really this typifies pollution and smog gives a grainy effect that works well.

I take it this is Beijing then? Great pic, in a disconcerting way. I very much like the hue.
