 Thanks everyone for voting for this shot. I appreciate your support.

This picture was taken below a walkway that connects four corners and buildings in downtown Houston, Texas.

I had to lay down on the sidewalk to ge this shot, who knows what I contracted.

The tall builing you see in this shot is the building that belonged to the company formely known as ENRON. ;)

There was as similar shot I took of this walkway that was disqualified.

The sides are from opposite sides under the same walkway.

Thanks again.
Jaime

Great picture of the old Enron buildings. I pass this walk through all the time but never thought to take a picture from below. It's a very creative point of view. Congrats on your ribbon!

Great shot Jaime, but what pisses me off is that I work in this building and walk the skyloop everyday and didn't think to shoot it for the Framing challenge. :)

Congrats on the ribbon.

Nice one. I thought of your DQ shot and it occurred to me it'd fit the bill precisely. Didn't see it in voting though. Congrats :-)

Hey, good job not letting the DQ on the other shot get you down. And this time it fit the challenge so well, you got the blue instead of the yellow!
