 Thanks everyone for the votes and comments! Almost cracked the top ten. :)

Abit about this shot, I am actually outside the building shooting through the skylight...
This is in the DOE library at UC berkeley campus, to get in to it you need to be a student or faculty with proper ID. I was going to try and talk my way in after work but it was closed. I was just walking around campus when I realized that I was standing right over where it would be. If you click on this photo below. I first took my little gorilla pod and pushed it as high as I could on top and realized it saw straight down. But it was not a good angle so I looked for any authority figure and climbed up the wall and pt my camera out as far a I cold and used the timer to shoot then jumped down 5 feet :) I shot through the green glass and it wasn't so clean. I should have added some saturation though.

The way those doors are open is really perfect for the shot!

Very cool angle! The colors are too washed out unfortunately...

Very nice capture of a geometric pattern that most patrons of the library would miss - hidden, but not invisible.

Cool picture and I like the composition. I do feel that the picture lacks some contrast and could benifit from a little noise reduction.

looks more washed out than it should. not sure if it's the exposure of contrast that's throwing my eye off...

An interesting viewpoint. I really like the colours but it is a little grainy.
