lovely cityscape... wish there was a bit more of sky

@Prashanth: I actually had 2 shots one with more sky and this one the one with more sky lost the feeling of how the city goes on and on.

I agree, very nice city scape, just wish there was either a) more of a subject or b) more of a sky.
still, nice work

@Paul Ricciardi: Maybe I chose the one photo. Maybe more of a subject would be better
Benny Martini from Montreal, Canada
Nice shot, like the other said, I wish to see more sky and maybe the focus in the middle of the frame instead of the bottom... but it looks very nice !

@Benny Martini: Thanks for the advice. It all helps.

Shadow Mountains from Kyoto, Japan
You know...think I am gonna disagree with the 'more sky' calls. I love the way that this captures Shinjuku and this shot with the skyscrapers 'scraping' the top of the frame only go to reinforce the nature of the compressed and claustrophobic nature of urban Japan. Everything looks squeezed and compressed. Which is the way it is in Japanese cities. This is turning into a really really good series Darren. Post the others!

@Shadow Mountains: I'm glad you saw it the saw it the way I wanted to portay. Thanks for the supporting comments. Maybe add to the series, see how it goes.
Stu from Kyoto, Japan
yep im with shadow on this one. for me this is a stonkin' city shot - more sky would alter the focus and perspective and you might lose the view of the streets bottom-left, which really add to the depth of the scene.
the details down there and in the buildings in the foreground are just great. excellent capture daz!

@Stu: Thanks Stu, more support. My next one does have a little more sky though.

@Suby: Thanks Mate. Little typo with the name but thats not a problem I've been called worse. I'm really enjoying your captures too mate.
Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia
Another great take Daz. Love the processing to this series and the detail in the shots. Such a sprawling metropolis. I think keeping the horizon where it is adds visual tension to the shot and gives the buildings a more overpowering feeling. Besides taking out the buildings for more sky would take away from the structures in the foreground. Great shot.

@Chris Sullivan: Thanks mate. I think no sky has taken over more sky now so I guess it's better as is.
