Now this is so cool, and i like the effect especially in the golden areas of this image..... especially the curves and angles..... Awesome perspective in this one, as the eye draws one right into the image.....

Nice perspective, and use of tilt for effect.

I love the tilt and the warm rich colors. This is a good way to get out and explore where you live.

Hey when it was loading I really thought I was looking at Manchester!! I will show you the Beetham (Hilton) Tower It looks very similar to the slim building at the back.

This is the most excellent composition. The wave of the bridge and the highrise on an angle - just amazing. Great use of blur and the colors are outstanding, too.

I'd love to know how you achieved this. It's so cool that the leading line not only curves away from you, but it also leads you into the blur and the city. This is very cool!

Great Job, I love the colours and perspective, blur works well also!

Reminds me of a slightly inebriated perspective ;-)

Wow, that blur makes it look as though the whole thing is on the move. I like it a lot.

In my "last life" as a reinsurance broker, I frequently visited the CIGNA offices off Wacker..what a great city you live in! When this side challenge is done, put these images in a folder and see if you can find someone to publish a Cgicago series...these are so good in their variety of what thhey protrey, and very well done! at the very least, have some framed and hang them in your home and office! :)

I like the motion, the flowing line of the bridge rail and the colors over all. To me it's a well done abstract.

ooooh, nice sense of speed & motion. i like the clarity of the foreground part in contrast to the blur...

The blur in the bg looks like zooming in and zooming out..
Fun image.
