Thanks so much for all comments... :)
It was handheld and captured upward 90 degrees at the Melbourne Central.

amazing view... i'm not sure where it is, but it still makes me feel insignificant...

Interesting shot. I find it to be a little dark. 6.

very interesting. like a big architectural eye peeping at you. I am now officially dizzy.

Excellent leading lines all over creation. Strong composition draws my eyes right to the top of the tower. Excellent capture. 10

I love the complexity of this composition. The top left corner detracts from the overall piece, perhaps a different angle to make that part less of a focal point (for me anyway). A solid 9 from me

Excellent architectural study... I enjoy the curves and shapes that make up the impact in this photo...

Super point of view and excellent exposure in a difficult situation. Curves are marvelous.

Great image, I keep waiting for the bottom to appear though. Seems cropped off. 7.

not sure where this is but that curve in the upper left corner is distracting, but maybe you couldn't avoid it, 6

what a fantastic composition! all the elements come together beautifully. love the contrast between the beiges and blues. this is one of my top picks for the challenge. hope it does well for you!

I like it a lot - nice curve to lead the viewer into the picture. The left wall is a bit distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2004 10:11:19 PM
My guess is that this is a shot by Konador, but I could be totally wrong. The black curve on the top left distacts me, although there may not have been a better angle to shoot from. This shot has alot of depth to it, all leading to the black spot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wow, I like this, it's interesting and different 10
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2004 02:23:33 PM
This thing in the middle (the tower, or whatever) - it drives attention. Maybe different angle, or more space for the context could be helpful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/06/2004 02:41:03 AM
great capture and while I would have loved more clarity, the swirl effect carries me. A great visual and confortable to look at because of its hidden pattern of the human eye. Bumping up.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/05/2004 08:52:15 PM
This is a very interesting shot. I like the lines, the way them make me a bit dizzy but the shelf or ceiling or whatever that is on the left is very distracting, really overpowers the rest of the shot ;( A 7

captivating photo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 11:15:51 PM
Strong points: Wonderful selection of scene - it's magical. I'm not real sure about the top left "circular traingle shape," - but the rest of the composition is pure dynamite. Perfect xposure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 11:12:25 PM
Great architectural abstract. Off-center composition is key here, and placement of differing construction materials in the frame really bring out a view that you can take lots of time to explore without changing viewpoint. Lighting and DOF are well done here to achieve a good capture of the architecture from a unique viewpoint.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 05:58:02 PM
Great DOF, love the colors! Really nice.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 05:40:04 PM
The upper left hand corner is holding this back. The colors are good, so is the subject and the technical qualities. It's just that I'm a big fan of symmetry. :D 8

Excellent point of view.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 01:37:23 PM
Great picture. Bery interesting, and wWith such a light background coming through the windows, it's really nice that the tower in the middle wasn't silhouetted. God job. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 01:04:16 PM
what a strange building, such a square tower in the middle of all the circles. Good capture, is has both a dynamic feel to it as well as a static focal point, which is fully in line with the architecture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/04/2004 10:40:36 AM
Nice and clear shot! Great DOF to get all of the detail in the framework! Can't say it really jumps out at me though i'm afraid... 7

I feel dizzy. Neat lines and curves -7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 04:54:24 PM
Ah, I have two very presumptuous and obviously obnoxious suggestions for this great photo: 1) crop it. Remove everything from the right of the tower. 2) do it in black and white. I really think this would pack more of a punch if it was a study in curves, the far right curving walls and the steel structure are just wonderful, but the tower in the center breaks up the lines and, for me, ruins the amazing structure. Ah, don't worry, I'll just take it up with the architect! Thanks for the great shot!

Nice photo. Great use of the number 1.618...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 12:04:41 PM
This is a great architectural shot. I've looked at it several times, and the only thing I can think of is that the dark upper left is a little distracting. Not sure if you could have cropped this differently, but even as is, this is very strong.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 11:49:15 AM
An amazing use of leading lines (curves)! My eyes just flow all over the curves and circles very smoothly. Very interesting building, as well. To be very nit picky, I would have cropped the left side a tad to meet the corner where the large arc meets the circle from the glass ceiling frame (left edge of the frame). That way your eye is forced to choose that line and flow back to the right. 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 08:12:05 AM
Wonderful crystal clear wide angle shot that gives a great feelling of height. Interesting structures, but too bad that the platform in the upper left obscures the view. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 07:48:36 AM
WOW, almost makes you dizzy. You probably already played with the exposure, but I think I would have experimented with it also.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 06:45:58 AM
This is a great architectural view, I think I would have liked it if you had zoomed in further and made it a bit more abstract. Also, the texture is to 'bitty' for my taste. Great ratios and proportions in the composition, almost like golden mean. 7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 04:04:42 AM
The lines and curves make this an interesting photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/03/2004 12:50:52 AM
This shot really draws you right up into that tower of galls. It's unfortunate that the overhang in there on the left hand side. I'm thinking that without it, the shot would have looked a lot like a giant eye looking down on you. It still does, in a way, but then *bang*, you see that dark area. 8

Interesting abstract.

I'm a big fan of architecture shots, and I really like this one. I like the pattern created by the bars and I also like the tower in the composition. 7

Very nice composition. Everything points to that upper left quadrant. Nice job.

very well seen, strong graphic elements in this image with great leading lines drawing the eye to the center. nice job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very interesting lines, curves and shadows. Excellent DOF. I will be interested to read about this building and where it is. I am trying to figure out what that brick building is doing here. Great shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 08:45:34 PM
don't like top-left but rest is interesting capture
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 07:23:15 PM
Nice use of geometry. Might work well as a black and white too. The curve on the top left is a little distracting - I want to focus more on the detail of the glass panes but get interrupted by the aforementioned shape.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 03:13:20 PM
Yes! What an awesome shot! DOF is perfect, I love the exposure too. You could have easily lost the detail of the outer edges in the shadows but you didn't and I applaud you for that. I will be interested in how you did this, on your back, on a tripod...

It appears that I am looking at an eye. Ilike the arc of the balcony and how the structure pulls me into the center. Nice work. I can't imagin what or where this structure is. Great study of such an interesting perspective.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 02:38:22 PM
Great architectural image! I'm very curious how this would look in b/w as it might emphasize the shapes / lines and blend the foreground more with the background. Not my choice to make, and not necessary for enjoyment of this image - you've done a great job (but I'm still curious!)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 02:21:49 PM
nice capture of the architect's vision, eye stays on the subject - spelled n' wrong (just kidding)

ok, I'm feeling dizzy now, nice pic :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 09:09:14 AM
i like the curves, but my eye seems to be drawn down and out of the picture, rather than up towards the roof ... i can't help but think lowering the camera by 1/3 of the frame would have improve it a little (but maybe not, i wasn't there :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 08:44:59 AM
I think this could have been better if the balcony in the top left of the pic wasn't there - it detracts from the rest of the pic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
10/01/2004 06:43:45 AM
This photo is too busy for my taste. I think there is too much going on and no real focal point. I do think it would make a good abstract though, with some funky duotone colouring and a closer crop. 4
