 This spot has been on DPC a couple of times, but I think the images are different enough.

Really impressed with the Sigma 12-24 optics. This is looking straight into the sun and yet there is no lens flare. The image is tack sharp too.

Full frame, no crop. Used tone mapping and increased the saturation to bring out the color.

Post challenge - Thanks for the comments and votes. To answer Bear_Music's question, this was shot at 12mm, the widest the lens will go.

The difficulty here is the sky, but the author handled it quite well - the temptation would have been to under expose but the author obviously avoided that. The framing is very intriguing and something not often seen - a good eye for balance and framing is in evidence here. I particularly like the way the building disappears into the sun - unique. A solid effort and a very nice capture with plenty of shapes and color to invite the eye. Well done.
