 This is the Tower of the Americas in San Antonio. 750 feet high, with of course a restaurant and observation deck at the top. It is so beautiful up there! It takes your breath away. But this time, instead of taking a picture of the city, I decided to try capturing the beauty of this amazing structure from the ground.

Nice starburst effect. Not quite convinced by the composition.

Love this shot. The tree there makes it seem like the tower isn't as high, though. Too bad it wasn't nearer the bottom of the photo.

What an awesome picture. Good composition in a subject that is so vertical. I like the unique colors as you travel up the tower. The tiny star effect in the white lites add a perfect sparkle to the picture. You should do very will with this fine capture. 10

Great perspective, focus, clarity, contrast consistant throughout the photo. Tree branches does good job of breaking out the otherwise empty sky. Good use of color to leave the tower standing as the main feature agaist sky and clouds. super 10.
