Golden globe view

A bit disorienting capture of Kingdom Center. I found it interesting how some views in the globe were "normal," albeit fragmented, while others were upside down or sideways. It certainly made for a dizzying visit to the viewing platform!

NOTE: I have hardly any Internet this evening, like a few Kbps, so I have a feeling using Pbase could be problematic.

Stunning view, Helen and the composition is very good. One must be dizzy at this highest point nad by this abnormal view. Great shot. v

That is quite a picture, and takes a while to work out :)

There's an old technique for checking your composition. Turn the picture upside down. It works here. Great eye, Helen. V

The city looks very impressive even with this angle. Nice crisp shot.
