 Prediction: 5.12

Will bring my average down, but it's definitely an image I want to experiment with :). I have a very "traditional" image in Urban Landscapes, so...

-----------------

This did so much better that I was expecting! I am really thrilled.

My last couple of images had average scores, but what bothered me even more, very few comments. So with this one, while not expwecting a good score, I was hoping to get some comments, stir some response! And it did that.

Thank you for the really nice comments, and the faves! It's a huge shot in the arm for my confidence!

As a note, I saw a connection between the one building rising way above the others, and the plane in the sky - both are representative of the same trait of human nature somehow...

Should have placed much higher imho. I ad it in my top 10 - and that's where I believe it deserves to be.
Highly underrated...!

I really like this one a great deal. The negative space highlights the progress of man - and does it in such a profound yet simple way.

Absolutely underrated! Well, at least way above your prediction and it didn't harm your average :)

Is that a wide angle lens used in portrait mode? Very cool. Back for a bump. Very unique composition.

Nice detail in the buildings & the framing of the plane is entertaining. << 7 >>

I hope this ribbons. It's a great use of negative space, and the yellowish tint of the city building goes nicely with the soft blue of the sky. Great job!

A very busy, bustling, crowded and noisy city...but all that beautiful blue negative space brings a real sense of calm. Almost like the Caribbean Sea with that blue. Just perfect!

Nice cityscape, I think it draws your attention more than the plane though.
