Two things stick out when I look at this, the busy white cars and the busy skyline. Well done. -COAmature

I think I read that there's a building going up in Dubai this fall that will have EACH (every) floor rotate individually. Do you know anything about that?

Very striking image to us not familiar with that part of the world. The white cars and eerily sci-fi cityscape are surreal. -tv

Hi Sharon, thanks for the comment. I can assure that the building is vertical as I put quite a lot of effort into making it so. The design of the building I think creates a bit of an optical illusion.

This building 'Burj Dubai' on the day captured was 707m (2320ft) high and is the tallest in the world. When completed it will be between (it is believed) 900m and 1100m making it around twice as tall as the previously tallest buildings Taipei101 and the Petronas Towers.

The Burj Dubai is in Dubai, UAE.

Gerry, I like this one the best of your three for busy-ness and composition. I do find it a little bit disturbing that the really tall building seems to be leaning into the shot a bit but that may have to do with the way the building is designed not with your lens. Where is this? ~Sharon
