Nice shot! Love your composition! How? The arches overhead with the sky provide a nice balance to the otherwise dark, harsh, and stern, but prettty colorered blue steel structures below. Give ya a 10.

The proportions of this structure seem enormous. It almost appears we are looking straight up until I noticed the people shadowed on the left.

Not being familiar with Wharfs, I looked this up and I think I found a site related to this Canary Wharf. It helped me to understand exactly what I was looking at and realized that this is probably an escalator. At first I thought it might be a bit dark, but when I tried lightening it up a bit, I noticed that it looked like there was someone standing in the large dark strip to the left and figured you darkened it up a bit to make that person kind of dissapear. I also notice lots of people over on the far left. That's why I thought it was an escalator. Hard to tell though without being able to see the individual stairs in the dark vertical grooves. The roof/ceiling is beautiful. I bet it casts some really cool shadows when the suns just right. This is a nice angle. Good shot and good luck in the challenge.

Very cool! Architecture is always fun>>Good score.
It maybe would have been a better shot if the Photographer was 10 feet over to the right...

Kinda dark and imo, pushing the "new" quite a bit. (Edited sarcastic comment about the newness of your subject) Additional review cost you a point, slid from 7 to 6. Swash

A very wonderfully done building shot, great sky and colors.. however, I dont see the "new" part besides reading the title.

It looks a bit underexposed, or was that done on purpose?

Interesting pattern or light and dark.

nice picture, but a little dark

Cool picture. I think it would be even more effective if it were perfectly symmetrical. I would draw the viewer in more, I think. karmat

Greetings :) This is a lovely architectural photo. It simply does not relay a sense of 'new' to me. I would have to live in this community to know that this is new and understand the ramifications of that. In my own mind, this image resembles many other train stations that I have seen in the past :) - jmsetzler

This is an interesting shot. A think it's a bit too over-sharpened, as evidenced by the distortion on those metal things between each window. While I think it is a good image, and that the photographer thought out this shot and did a good job, if s/he hadn't put the date of construction in the title, what about the photographer reveals the 'newness' of this? Still, good work.

Great perspective.
