Soar 1

AG from London, United Kingdom

* I'm with you, AG. Let's not worry about why it is the way it is, let's just appreciate it for what it is.[reply]Heath @ 2006-08-10 08:01:01
* I think the designer designed the arch and the engineers just had to build it like that. Without no modifications.[reply]Erik - HedinMedia @ 2006-08-10 09:30:40
* It's an amazing structure, and you captured this image on the perfect blue skies day![reply]micki @ 2006-08-10 10:35:05
* But will it still be there in a 100 years? Enjoy the moment.[reply]john @ 2006-08-10 11:49:38
* there is some tremendously interesting and ambitious architecture going up these days - i'd be interested to see how this holds up in 20 years time though. love the way you composed this shot and the colour; you really get the feel of the place from the image.[reply]david @ 2006-08-10 13:35:21
* Wow! You did right by showing it this large, now we get a better feel of the sheer size of it. Well done.[reply]Michael @ 2006-08-10 14:15:44
* The scale is great, and nicely backed with that fine sky. [reply]Dave @ 2006-08-10 14:41:13
* You took me by surprise with the size of your photo today, but I like it very much! I thought it was a sailboat at first. Very interesting and what a beautiful sky.[reply]Sherri @ 2006-08-10 20:30:18
* Very cool! This is the reason I love WA lenses! Great capture![reply]Christian Wagner @ 2006-08-10 20:38:43
* It simply fits completely with the sky ![reply]Hildegarde @ 2006-08-10 21:05:27
* Great architectural shot (being in architecture school myself, I am curious as to what building this is?) Anyway, the perspective really accents the structure.[reply]c2photo @ 2006-08-10 22:48:42
* Scrolling this picture really emphasises the soar factor! To me this has qualities of the Sydney opera house and the Sydney harbour bridge rolled into one. Another wonderful HDR. [reply]fotojo @ 2006-08-10 23:53:16
* Impressive structure!
For sure the designer, the architect, the engineer and the accountant did a good job !
And the photographer did a good job too ! ;-)[reply]Sidney @ 2006-08-11 00:44:45
* Nice structure and good caputre - sky and clouds are great! I think we are seeing a shift in design as CAD is allowing architects and designers to conceptualize new organic curvey structures that were much more difficult to model on paper.[reply]Jason Kravitz @ 2006-08-11 08:13:46
* Crazy shot! I don't know where's up and where's down... I feel confused. Cool angel and interesting crop.[reply]Karl Baumann @ 2006-08-11 18:20:11
* Beautiful angle, the structure... nice sky too.[reply]010design-photoblog @ 2006-08-11 18:22:53
* Absolutely stunning. All the elements fitting together in perfect harmony. The sails with the sky, the impressive colors, the angle. For me I can imagine this could be a view from an orbiting extraterrestrial spaceship down to the atmosphere of the earth. Simply great.[reply]Uwe @ 2006-08-11 20:16:51
* Thanks to Micki, Sherri, Hildegarde, Joanne, Heath, Erik, John, David L, Michael, Dave, Christian, Chris, Sidney, Jason, Karl, Gio and Uwe for your supportive Comments.
I’ll allow myself the indulgence of saying I felt this was my best technical shot to date and it made me feel the cost of that 12-24 Nikkor lens was worth it. To me, as with Uwe, the frame looked as if shot from orbit.
Thanks again for your support : it is important to know the fun is shared.[reply]AG @ 2006-08-15 06:57:03
