I like the angles in this photo; it's nice and clean with decent colour, but those black things about mid way up on the left tower are distracting ............ are they window cleaners? I'd clone them out whatever they are.

@ JaguarXJ7

Thanks. I just posted the edited version. I was thinking about that. When I first looked at it, i thought it was my cam. Its the sportlights from the building itself.

Neat shot man. I think the whole shot being darkened to where it gets lighter going towards the sky would have a cool effect. You mind if I give this shot a little editing?

Alright man. Heres my version of it. I burned the buildings down and then went in and selected JUST the blue part of the sky and saturated that. I also added a blue-filter over the whole image after that.

I thought it would look good in B&W too.

@ Alpha

I really do like the burned colour ver you done. Its really bought definition to the picture.

The B&W looks more comicbooky. I like both v much. Thanks

NP man. MY pleasure. I just think yours was over exposed a little. If you shoot in RAW you can correct this very easily. :)

Keep it up man ill be looking forward to seeing some more pics from you.
