Well, I just joined a few days ago ... but I am all exited about this and look forward to participate in a challenge, some day. For now, I am sneaking around on this site, seeing how things work, and when I think I have something to contribute with, I'll go for it!
At first I thought I missed something in the building, via the crop, but with my optics this is as wide as I can go, more or less. Now, I understand you meant a challenge here on the board, in architecture ...
Wow! How striking!!! You just missed an architecture challenge that I bet this would have done very well in! I love its abstract look (and I don't even normally care that much for abstract), but it works so well here!!
I have used 1/8, F/2.7 (limit), 38 mm (35 mm equivalent = 6 mm / full wide)
There are glass/plexiglass windows (A good thing for safety!), but not the best for taking pictures. Later on I was actually sitting down there (se other photo, looking up), and I appreciated the glass - so people could not spit or throw items 32 floors down onto me!
When sitting there enjoying a traditional chinese trio - and occasionally gazing to the ceiling - I saw numerous flashes go off from that same position on the 88th floor, although behind glass. Amazing how many people do not understand that the flash is no good through glass, let alone for a 200+ meter distance!
Of other interesting notes - the wall on the far side contains the elevators. It is translucent, so you can see the elevators go up and down, in a faint but sufficiently visible light. When going inside the lifts, you can also see somewhat through the sides ...
