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.

Skyscrapers around the world showcase modern architecture and continually push the boundaries. Try to capture interesting shapes and angles and highlight the beauty of the building rather than relying on sky and sea or weather conditions to create drama. This competition is for ordinary skyscrapers only.. No iconic skyscrapers like the Petronas Towers, Burj Khalifa, the Shard, Empire State building which feature so regularly in other cityscape competitions.
