Photo taken with aperture priority. I've tried to get a dramatic angle, but also have the reflection of older buildings on the surface of the spire.

Its an interesting shot, but I must admit I really had to study it, as the reflection at the bottom just looks awkward. I love the tones and vanashing point, but wonder if cropping the reflection out may have helped.

this is a pole - sculpture or architecture? The reflection might just count...!!

FWIW, this subject matter looks great in b/w
