Hi Justin
I know that many of our European TE members are not fans of tall glass skyscrapers, but I certainly am!
these financial districts are a paradise for architectural photo's!
I really enjoy what you have composed here.
the double - split view with a reflection is always a great one.
interesting to see it in monochrome aswell.
its nice to see the left side so clean, and the right is more graphic.
nice work
cheers

great architectural shot of an impressive skyscraper shown with ingenuity with its own reflection. Quite spectacular. Jancsi

Hello Justin,
nice the vertical format with the B/W of the photo to makes the scene very effective.I like the created reflections on the opposite glass façade of the building, as the symmetry of the shot.

Hi Justin

Another good shot with excellent graphism and light. I like the vertical frame and the reflections from the windows. I again think you could have ramped up the contrast, but it really is a matter of personal taste.

Thanks for sharing, have a good evening

Hi Justin
Great impact, excellent near-symmetry, reflections and B/W treatment. It's clean and has good contrast (maybe the sky could be selected and made dark or lighter, especially at the top to increase contrast still more??).
I guess it's coincidence, but today I uploaded a shot looking up a high-rise in Chatswood, Syndey: great minds obviously thinking alike!
Regards
Will

Hi Justin,
When I opened you pictures I saw a couple great shot of buildings looking up. I like particulary this one with two skyscrapers which one reflects on the other one. The photo in B&W presents very well with good tones, light and sharpness.
Have a nice weekend.
