This vertigo-inducing madness is an amazing shot – congratulations on winning 1st place. It won't take viewers long to realise what they're looking at, but it's not the famous perspective that they're used to. I particularly enjoyed seeing the contest entries such as yours that took the famous views brief and played with it to show something extraordinary. Well done.

A stunningly crisp cityscape of this most futuristic perspective on Dubai's glistening skyline – beautifully executed in terms of composition, the settlings selected, and post-processing. Congratulations on 2nd place! I wonder on what rooftop you set up your tripod to capute this image – let me know if it's not too big of a secret !

**This contest is open to photographers ranked between 251 and 1000 in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** If you’ve ever found yourself standing in front of the Taj Mahal; looking up the Champs Elysees at the Arc de Triomphe; or looking out across the Grand Canyon, you may have had a strong sense of deja vu. More than ever before, the combination of cheap travel, ubiquitous digital cameras, and the internet has meant that we’ve seen these views and many more hundreds or thousands of time before we’ve ever visited them ourselves. You may have stood in the most obvious and used spot for shooting from, or you may have found an unfamiliar viewpoint.
