This was taken on my recent Taiwan trip. The Taipei 101 Tower isn't open yet (shown through the skylight), but the attached shopping mall is very modern and beautiful inside. This shot is looking up from the top floor at the decorative ceiling and skylight. I learned shortly after taking it that they have a policy against taking pictures inside the building, but it seems to be selectively enforced since I saw others taking pictures of cars on display.

I must admit that my original shot (taken with Canon G2) showed the tower really washed out through the skylight, so I took another outdoor shot and cut/pasted it into this shot on a layer behind the skylight frame using Photoshop. Yes - I cheated! :o

Cheating or not it's a great shot...

Very nice shot Jim. I don't consider your ps work to be cheating.

Thank you both! I think it's one of my best, but then again I'm a little partial.
