Neat idea, but it looks like the camera was moving too much.

Good idea! It's a little busy and the focus is too soft.

Fruit or vegetable?

I like the concept a lot, however, the focus is too soft.

Phenomenal catch. However, the pixels ruin the quality.

Very happy to see that the view from my office window could land me a 2nd place this week!!! Actually, I have to walk a few cubicles away to get the right angle. It was shot pretty much "at level" from the 22nd floor of tower 49 in Midtown Manhattan. In terms of composition the choices are pretty much limited to using the 2 St-Patricks towers and 3 buildings in the background vs. 1/2 like I did here. Shot with a 190 mm zoom (300mm effective) zoom at 5.6 f-stop with 350th speed to avoid blur (typically even better at 500th) - ISO 200. Black and white was much more effective as it enhances the contrast of the church. Thanks for all the comments and feedback + votes!!

Brilliant concept! Very creative. Getting the split a little more to one side could be interesting (although you may be constrained by the dimensions/light). 9 - chakkobbo

Thanks for all the comments! I must say that I am very happy to get this win after just a few participations in the dpchallenge (that I think is a terrific concept BTW)! Thanks to your votes I realized that this picture may actually have some potential........here's what the photo editor of one of the major US wildlife magazines said: "It's a perfectly good photo, very dramatic." I was obviously very excited by this feedback! We'll see what happens, maybe this will be my first photo sale ever?!?! Good luck with "texture" challenge everyone! Jakob aka Chakkobbo
