Thanx all... this picture actually did much better than I had hoped... Many of you who commented mentioned the "tilting horizon line" Unfortunately, the horizon is actually very straight. There is a pool in front of the egg, and I didn't take the picture looking straight on. Hence the apperance of tilt. Oh, well, I didn't realize at the time that that was how it looked.
p.s. The Egg is a convention center in down-town Albany, NY - on the plaza.

Congrat's on your placement. Glad to see our Albany landmarks working for you! I love the way you caught this.

This could use a slight rotation to level. Now - anyone who can gets these results shooting this particular structure, deserves a "9". You found a way (as I couldn't ) to eliminate overbright lights, wires, buildings, trees to capture and share the real beauty of the Egg.

Very cool building and a very cool shot. The reflection did it for me. Good luck!

The reflection adds a lot of interest to this shot. I suggest leveling the waterline.

What is that thing, a satelite dish? LOL

awesome, honestly. The reflection is maybe more intriguing than the reality. I really like photos that assist your eye with direction.

and I thought Chicago's Jelly Bean was weird...would love to know more about this "egg". Good reflection, perfect exposure, good white balance. Nice angle leading the eye across the image. Light behind egg a little bright but great image overall. Good luck

Nice reflection. Great overall compostion. The only thing that distracts is the tilt to the right.

Nice capture. greta detail. I'd prefer a bit more exposure or brightening in post. the shoreline direction gives the illusion (?) of a tilt to the right.

The only things to pick at in this photo, imho, are 1) the bright light on the left center, and the two or three small points of light that mar the smoothness of the curving line. Otherwise, the reflection is gorgeous. 9

Just wow. The bright white light draws from this. 9
