This is the view of downtown from along a Buffalo Bayou, which runs through town and played a key role in the settling of Houston. The majority of these buildings are owned by oil companies, another thing that helped settle Houston. I guess this is a heritage shot.

This my 3rd post of this picture. I finally got Noise Ninja and went to work. It's a bit soft, like it was printed mat instead of glossy, but I think I like it.

J'aime bien cette vue de la ville......le contraste entre le vert du gazon et le gris des édifices. I love that picture !!
Congratulation !!!

GREAT GREAT SHOT. It made me feel between a sort of Blade Runner scenery with that "perfect world" of The Truman Show. From where I belong, that sort of picture remains only in my imagination. I was glad to see it! Well done.

Excellent photo.. captures the rythemic charm of Nature ( the wonderful flowing Shadows on the hill side ) and the pristene clarity of Houston's Architecture. Minor croping of limbs on the edges will achieve a well balanced design. BRAVO!!!!

Sharp, excellent compoced, beautiful light, making the stripe on the field. great reflextion on the building, great light and color.

Hello Kristi
The angle is interesting, I like the reflection in the building. The vegetation softens the geometric effect and modernist of the architecture, on the other hand, the architecture enhances the vegetation with the projection of the shades on the grass, and mainly they give him a special effect in the convergence of the shades, contrasted exquisitely with the details of illumination on the branches of the tree in the left part of the front: Architecture and vegetation in harmony. Beautiful image. Cordial greetings. *Ninfa Urania*

Hi Kristi
