Description I was across the harbour when I saw how the fog/haze make the building look like its disappearing. So I took a ferry across the harbour, waited for "magic hour" and used a low angle to emphasize how tall this building is. It really is a beautiful building at night when you look at it up close, this photo hardly do it justice.

Nah, I only used curves in Photoshop to tweak the colours a bit, otherwise it is as it was.

Hello, Kevin, nice to meet you. I found you through ageofloss' feature. I'm glad that I got to see your work. This picture is beautiful. From the description you put a lot of effort to wait for the right time and the right colors too. Beautiful work and great dedication. Don't ever stop snapping away. Take care.

Wow, that is amazing.
Aptly named! it certainly is magnificent.

I really love the perspective and the slight fish-eye lens effect. The colours are simply outstanding and give plenty of awe and dynamacy. Wow, great clean and sharp features captured, I love this so much.
I reassure you the time taken for this is nothing, the acheivement and outcome will certainly outweigh it.

This is something very special, good luck with the competition and congratulations on winning the DD Award.

awesome job, i wish to see more like this.

Saw this yesterday, thought I should drop by again and leave a couple of words.

The waiting paid off magnificently. In a sense it's a little eerie, but it has this kind of atmosphere about it, which the blueish hazy feel of the clouds give combined with those bright white-green sections.

I love a visually spectacular photo, and this is a superb example. A deserved , and congrats on the DD
