Going for Colour
View from ground floor.

I'm not sure why I have such a "fetish" for buildings...maybe it's the fact that their sheer majesty and towering features sends shivers down my spine. But maybe it's just the fact that they're building these things on extremely sisemically active land.
The risk of it falling down at any minute gives me a rush!! Haha. Anyway I thought you'd all enjoy the building from an ants point of view.

man thats a class image. HDR? the clarity is excellent and Im loving the hues throughout the building and sky.

@Duncan Galbraith: No HDR on this one just some sharpening and saturation!! You know Japan, it's a lightbulb so that's just light reflecting off the gloomy night sky.
@badala: Thanks mate!!

@Addey: Thanks mate...it was one difficult angle I was crouching on the floor almost. Wanted to lie down but the camera shake would have been terrible. Had to settle for tripod.

Cool perspective! Your pictures are really amazing.

@Martin: Thank you very much!! That's such a wonderful comment. I'm shocked!! You've got killer pics too mate...keep up the great work.
@Dileep: Yeah, doesn't it look like its from 100 years in the future...I think it's more the perspective of it. There's this other building I'm dying to get a pic of but it isn't finished yet I think but it's gonna blow your mind when you see it.
