Great contest!

A standout image from the first view. Lovely composition and 3D feel, also an almost symmetrical feel. Nice tones and I like cloud cover images the natural and artificial light work well together an image I would be proud of....... A little shuffle to centralise things and it would be perfection......

Ominous is a word that comes to mind. The image is not one of the best but the whole feel and the location catapults this image into the top 10. The loss of detail in the clouds with the rainbow effect loss of pixels is a real shame and this can be blurred out. This building is so futuristic yet almost scary in its design, well done for getting this one.......

Thank you for the detailed description and a lot of effort was taken and you have been rewarded with a spectacular image. Plenty of detail and full of interest throughout, I do like the clouds rolling through the scene on the right.......

Beautiful colours and detail, wonderful composition and this is the brief in perfection, look up skyscrapers in the dictionary and this should be the image....... Some may dislike the almost hdr over vivid feel but that's fine, possibly tone down the sky a dark sky would really work well........

Wonderful moody futuristic 'blade runner' feel. A beautiful skyline, gorgeous composition with the 'island' effect, perfection with the monochrome tones and the glow effect, nice water blur and light - a supreme image......... There is slight pixelation in the sky which could be blurred out......

This may not appeal to everyone but I love this one for its tones and composition. Using the monochrome to good effect on the buildings, emphasising their metallic futuristic look, and having the foreground interest really stands out. The jets of water compliment the structures behind.. Also the angle of view gives the structures dominance and a 'giant looming' effect. Well done......

Impressive capture, one of the few portrait images but there is so much crammed into the frame, this is the epitome of skyscraper future cities. Lovely clarity and colours, you can see every window, nice touch seeing the green space, clever choice of settings needed for this handheld but the slight grain in the sky from the ISO that could be blurred out.....

In this quite specific contest we want to see only Skyscrapers, especially City / Urban very tall buildings, ideally looking up is favourable but not a must - the building just needs to be tall and in the urban environment............ Day or Night, Colour or B/W
