Pudong Shopping Center Photo

Photographer’s Note

An aerial view of the circular Pudong Shopping Centre, from the Oriental Pearl Tower's observation deck, which is approximately 90 floors above street level.

If you look closely at the rooftops, you can see 'kanji', or Chinese lettering painted on.

Nicely observed graphic cityscape. Looks like you've not shot that through glass, frightening.

Interesting shot Chris,

I don't think I've ever quite seen a shopping centre like this before. Surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be that many people.

Cheers!

What an amazing viewpoint! It creates a nice graphic image. I like the way you've included some of the surrounding roads. Fascinating shot - but I think it could maybe use a bit more contrast and saturation. I might try a workshop.

An impressive vantage point, Chris, from high above. The functional architecture ain't excactly pretty but its graphical potential was utilized at the best for your photo. Also good to have some context included with the access roads at the borders. Well captured.

Bonjour Chris,
Très impressionnant de regarder depuis le 90ème étage ce centre commercial, où les architectes urbanistes ont su jouer avec les formes géométriques.
Il faut regarder plus longuement la photo pour en apprécier tous les détails.
Merci Chris de nous faire partager ces images étonnantes.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Chris,
nice overlooking PoV, I like the design of this shopping center around the main square, seen with 90 floors difference it does not look so huge !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

A last terrifying view, lucky from behind a window, a curious shape from above with a rather empty round square to see on the few people and parked cars, strong geometrical architecture, well seen Chris.
Greetings

Hi Chris, A nice bird eye view over the city. A very nice sharp image. Yes, I can recognize the Chinese characters on the top of the roof. An excellent picture with nice contrast and POV. Well done.
