Challenge: Best of 2006 (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD400
Location: Top of the Rock
Date: Oct 25, 2006
Date Uploaded: Jan 7, 2007

This was taken during a fantastic sunset on the observation deck at Top of the Rock in NYC. The same day I took my "Wind" shot. I thought this had a real science fiction look to it. My boyfriend gave me the great title (from 'Dune' for those who don't know).

I gave this an 8. Really liked the colors and perspective. More refined crop likely have made this even better in my opinion.

not quite sure what to make of this. i love the colors, but there are places where the textures seem strange, as if overly-processed for noise reduction. i may be wrong, but that's how it looks to me. an interesting collection of shapes, to say the least.

I like the contrast between the blue and yellow, and you have a nicely balanced composition.

Love the title, it truly reminds me of the first Dune PC game. I have spent days on this fantastic game!

Seems almost to be trying to be simple and complex at the same time: and I'm not sure that's a successful dichotomy. The simplicity of the tonality of it, against the complex shapes and shadows - the tension between what are broadly plain and geometric shapes, and the details of the aerial, the steels and their rivets, the wiring ...
