Everyday skyscrapers

I like the contrast between old and new both in terms of colour and style. The building in the foreground shows off the detail and architecture of a particular era. While in the background are the super sleek and shiny modern skyscrapers. The photograph is beautifully composed to create symmetry, which is pleasing to the eye.

People forget that skyscrapers are not always glamorous commercial buildings but can be people's homes. I love this shot which so beautifully captures the crowded housing conditions of Hong Kong. The composition of the photo is excellent and gives the feel of being surrounded by buildings. The brightness of the sky also enhances the gloom and shadows in the building below.

Many skyscrapers look amazing at night and this shot beautifully captures this. I love the angle of the shot, which accentuates the curved walkway to draw your eye toward the building. The long exposure also enhances the shot by creating light trails and glowing street lights.

This is an amazing building and is definitely not one I had seen before! I like the fact that the photographer has captured the whole building in one shot. The gentle light enhances the reflection of the sky on the windows and creates a beautiful subtle blue colour.
