biglouis,

very well seen. It's a good shot and it made me smile, thanks.

Big -

You really should be posting more often. I like this for its angle, light, DOF, and feeling of size and power. I also wonder if the architect knew it would look like this from the nearby ground level. I'd be tempted to clone out the bits of other buildings near the top at the edge. I would still keep in the same amount of sky above the building

Alan Tracey, where are you?

Great view of a familiar landmark.

Thanks for all the comments. It really does help me progress.

Andy, LOL. That was my first thought when I "developed" the shot (in Lightbox) but I did not know if anyone else would see the connection if I posted it as "Thunderbirds Are Go!"

Great shot - well seen! I do however agree about getting rid of the tiny bits of the other buildings.

biglouis · 07/25/06, 06:21 PM

About the extraneous bits. I was hoping they would look like the gantry that moved away before launch on all those old Saturn V moon shots. But I think you are right - they don't work and I'll clone them out.

Thanks for the advice
