If the quality were better this would be my runaway favorite. Love the POV and the lens flare, but it's really hard to get past the softness, noise and artifacts.

Johnson and Johnson Building

A very interesting effect, but the flagpole kind of kills it. Any way to shoot around it? Great idea!

Thanks (except for you cretins with the 1 - 3 votes. I can hear you whining now, "But the sky isn't pitch black..." Try photography sometime). The rest of you are spot on w/r/t the straightness of the building. There was a cab parked in the place I should have shot from, and the combination of perspective distortion from tilting the camera to get the whole bldg in frame and barrel distortion from using the wide end of the zoom made for some pretty funky verticals and horizontals. Could be fixed in photoshop, but that's not allowed. Your comments are greatly appreciated.

Cool. Did you focus on the top, or somewhere in the middle?

Congratulations! One thing, though; are you sure about that aperture setting? That's a pretty huge depth of field for f2.5, even for a digicam.

So sharp it hurts, and very nice color. Did you try any different compositions? They'd be interesting to see.

Looks like the falling snow caught your flash. I actually find the top half more interesting than the bottom, and a better fit for your title.

I'm a bit surprised to see this much noise out of a D1X. Is this an extreme crop from a larger image?

A Night at the Josh House

This seems to me to be composed backwards, with the interesting bit of the building upstaged by the dull, flat wall at R. It does have a nice shadow on it, though. Setting the white balance to match the light source would have helped. Good subject.
