this is a great shot. you could use this for this weeks challenge too! Some of the people look slightly blurry and I'd like them totally still and in focus or either really blurry with motion. Also, I don't really like the colors of it that much, but that's not your fault, it's the building. Still, I might have played with the colors a little bit to make ti more dramatic or made it black and white. A great shot. Rock on!

Is this a mall in Sydney, Australia? Looks like one I visited once. I like the perspective here - all the different floors you have captured. But then there's the mall lighting .. oh well!!

If this was my pic i would have used unsharp mask to sharpen it a lot more. It`s a great photo but a little soft for me. 7

A great photo. I love it how all of the floors have been represented and well balanced in the image.

Thanks for all the great comments! I thought I'd try out an unusual photo for my first submission. Have learnt a lot about the voting patterns on dpchallenge.com now!

The photo was composed as-is (no cropping). I had the camera tilted slightly to the left in order to fit in the closest section of the bridge - the right hand side. Location is from Milsons Point - north side of the harbour, in Sydney Australia. I set the exposure for 15 seconds, framed the "top" bridge which you see. Set the photo off, then counted the seconds, and moved the camera roughly half way through the shot. My camera does not display the image as I'm taking the shot, so I was guessing where it was pointed after I moved it mid-photo. The result was quite unique. Something I'll try next time is having some black cardboard to put in front of the lense as I'm moving it to remove the light streaks, just to see how it would have come out. Post photo edit consisted of a change in hue/saturation to give the blue/purple colour, enhancing the mood.

Love it! Its amazing how it seems that each of the balconys appear to be different sizes, where in reality they arent. And who put that clock there? Love it!

Beautiful shot, the leading lines to the clock are great and I like the colors and framing.
