 I really enjoy it when I can come up with a thought provoking shot that meets the challenge. Perhaps I need to try harder.

Many may find the full details surrounding this shot interesting, disturbing and quite humorous all at once. I wish I had taken a better pic, so as to bring it to the attention of more people. It made me do alot of thinking about concerns for personal rights vs. concern for safety in our post 9/11 society. I only found a few threads in the forum dealing with dpc members getting stopped for taking "sensitive" pics during this time of heightened concern, which seems a bit odd, so perhaps I'm missing something or this was a very unique case. But I believe it is something all photographers and scrutinizers alike should think about. Check out my run in with Tampa's "Terrorism Prevention Squad" here:

The best of the building juxtapositions because of the captured light - 10

I love how even the details in the windows (ceiling fans etc) stand out!

I love old buildings and this one is just so beautiful, I would have liked to see the new one covering the composition a little more but this is really nice

I think this might suffer as it is so similar to so many other entries.

I would have liked a different angle so the top of the old tower is more clearly defined against the sky rather than lost against the new tower.

I like the title.
