mmmmm... makes me thirsty. ;)

I totttally dig the tones.

Wow, don't know exactly what it is about this photo but I really like it, I keep coming back to it trying to figure it out.

I haven't seen this in a while, but I'm pleased to note that I like it as much now as I did a year ago.

Cool! I've always wondered how I might shoot this. Every time I go there (and I live in Berlin half the time) there seems to be a fair, or some construction, or some kind of special event. This is a nice clean shot. Did you just take this? It's obviously a winter shot.

Yes this was early in the morning during the last winter at -14 °C. I was lucky that day with no construction in that direction :D
The light was exactly as diffus as shown here and I was thinking the whole time of Star Trek or Metropolis.
I have taken a few shots but this was the best of these buildings....

Metropolis! Indeed. ;)

Thanks for showing me a very new look of civilization, yet black and white and eerily old with that car and contrary to the dude walking on the left that looks to be wearing a jet pack and even a helmet!

...proceed to upper level landing pad...engage your de-gravitizer transport pack in a designated area...welcome to germany!

cool shot - and black and white adds a lot of this 'Metropolis-feeling'.

well done
Pinhole or 'shopped?
nice old postcard look.

while it doesn't say "big city" as much as "totally incredible in a city" ... I really like the tone and quality of this shot.

good geometry! more details on the sky would be nice, nevertheless good work! thanx for sharing!

super cool!

Ohhhhhhhhh - that was the sound that just automatically came from my mouth when I saw this. Bravo

Well, what could I say... I'm hoping that one day I'll master the art of photography so much that I can make pictures like this...

Nice point of view from the Eiffel Tower!

This is a bit hard to reconcile. The angle focuses attention on the shadow of the tower (interesting that we all know it's the Eiffel Tower without ever seeing it). The people shadows (their crispness) play nicely against the soft tower shadow. But the angle, emphasized by the orientation of the people, just throws me off. Great premise though and overall execution is very good.

Thanks for all the comments.
This has been rotated by 90 degrees to make the shadows upright. I wanted the shadow of the person with their hands on their hips to be the main focal point.
Looking at it again maybe I should have cropped out the bench on the right hand side of the picture as it is the main give away that it has been rotated.
Thanks again.

I very much agree with both points, one being this is a fantastic photo! two being if you cropped out the bench it would have a less uneasy and more captivating feeling I believe. wonderful

A bit of advertising never hurts eh, David?

I've seen this at Chromasia and as always, you never cease to amaze.

Thanks all :-)

uncommondepth: yes, it's an HDR.

Beautiful. Intriguing. Surreal.

I love it!

Very surreal and majestic.

great! the river looks great! i would personally prefer the snow to be white, but nevetheless the subtle toning is eye-catching!

Mr Seguin, nice to see ya featured right next to me! We go way back... ;) Phantastic photo, the toning is seriously out of this world. I dig.

I really love the softness of this entire scene.

Oh yeah! I love this. My only complaint is that I wish I could see only a slight hint of the horizon in the top part where it is washed out. Overall though, I really like the feeling of disappearing into the distance.

This is a very strong image in black and white. Beautiful in every which way.

This would look great with some grain and 'old fashioned' looking overlay.

I love how the horizon fades into the sky, a seemingly wide open expanse in contrast with the dark straight/curved line of the track with one way to go. I wonder about the edge building in the top left?...

This is beautiful! I love how the oily, dark foreground makes such a contrast to the sky. Beautiful picture.

The lost highlights are just a tiny bit disturbing, but overall the picture is good that it doesn't really take away too much.

eyes!
awesome light

It seems the residents of brandon projects have developed an obsession with you, mr. trent..
