The Other Dark Side Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken at KLCC Kuala Lumpur (KL). This is a reflection of the Twin Tower from the pond in front of KLCC. The photo was turned upside down cause I took the photo facing the building so the tip of the building should be at the bottom. The bottom of the pond are blue seramic tiles. The raining cloud starting to fill the KL sky when I was taking this shot.

Good picture; there must be thousands of photos of the twin towers, so you have done well to make an interesting and orignal view. It would have been nice to get the tops of both towers in, but still, very nice!

Very original idea and well executed! I think you took the photo at the right moment as the rain may have ruined your chances! Althought the twin towers were reflected on the pond, they were still quite sharp.

nice picture from a nice idea. i nver thought of this kind of idea. the gradation color from green to dark grey is cool. but too bad the top of the building a bit choped off. i think it would be more wonderful if you could get the whole image complete.

Well seen ( I just have one of the 'thousands of pictures'). This is a nice idea with the sharp lines and patterns of the towers given a wavy feel against the straig lines of the tiles. It is a shame about the missing top of the tower but still a bold image.

Nice job!
The asymmetrical lines and the darker part at the upper part give an illusion of perspective to the flat reflected image

Nothing is as it seems! Great shot. Just missing the tops of the towers is all. well done!

Yes, this is an original approach to a much photographed building (I've posted one of the many on this site) and it really works. At first I thought it was a reflection in another building, and couldn't figure out what that building could be;-)

Very nicely done.
