[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Looking down from around 200 metres up the Shenyang TV Tower. The buildings which look tiny from here are actually very tall structures. The main building on the junction is the Kempinski Hotel.

The lake here freezes solid in the winter months so instead of boating it is used for ice-skating.

Hi Murray !
I like this POV and the compo with the "yellow tones tower" on the left side. I noticed that there are a lot of red cars over the streets.
A nice view indeed.

Best regards

Hi Murray.
A fine shot from your vantage point. The colour and sharpness are exemplary in the light of what looks like lat afternoon. The autumn sun is casting marvellous long shadows which can only be appreciated from this height. I like the view of the space, the trees and the water in front of those densely packed buildings, few of which seem architecturally interesting. Well executed photo.
Regards,
Andrew

First, I thought they were 5 swimming pools, but after looking carefully I realised that they are building roofs and, may be, one pool. The avenues look very neat and, surprise, no bikes!!!
It is a nice shot with good light and good colours too. Well done.

Hi Murray,

Interesting POV and perspective, all the roads converging to the golden building. Maybe a little exposed on the top part, but still a very good one. Clear in detailsof this urban landscape.

Regards,

Hi Murray

What a coincidence. I also posted from China today. A superb downward pov, with excellent lighting, colour & sharpness. I like the colour contrast, betwen the orange highrise, & the blue lake at right. Tfs!

Hi Murray,

I know what the structure looks like from your previous shot - Liaoning TV Tower! Awesome clarity considering the view from behind that thick glass. Very good deep colours and central focus on the intersection below. I also like the angles created by that wedge of water. Looks to be a clean and leafy city with that parkland precinct. Well done.

Oh yes, it's very impressive shot, you can see a lot of details and lot of inrteresting things here. Very good work, this!

Hi Murray, A very spectacular view & a wonderful prospective of height, the lights a little harsh, however you still get a great impact from the photo, good colour & detail, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

This is a really nice shot of the scene,

Hi Murray
What a daring pov. Were you leaning over the edge of the roof ? Colors, sharpness ++ and great depth in all its meaning.
Regards from Canada :)

Veey impressive. I particularly like the radiating lines of the road junction. Very nicely composed. Maybe slightly over-exposed but just a touch.
