    Classic view at 474 m (1,555 ft) from the tallest observation deck in the world.

    The World Financial Center (SWFC) is a "must visit" when you are in Shanghai.

    It's practically impossible to make an original or a different shot because everyone does the same walk, passing the same (dirty) windows and then there's also a lot of reflection from the inside lights. Still, I hope you like this picture.

    Thanks for visiting and/or commenting.

    Je bent er toch in geslaagd om dit shot eruit te laten springen, top compo en hoek ! -- Seen in my contacts' photos. (?)

    This is great, and the fact that there are internal reflections and the slightly smeared look makes this very atmospheric and like the others said, abladerunner, or dystopian type of image

    Maybe it's because I haven't seen many shots of Shanghai, but I have never seen similar shots. Good capture. Loove the contrast/lighting work.

    It is quite some coincidence - the day you posted this one, the 30 storage high building fire inferno drama in Shanghai began. Strange indeed. I did think about this when I saw your photo and later that day saw that fire inferno - or was it the other way around.



    I really think you have nailed the color tone here. It really makes the whole scene. It is so Sin City-like. I like the view and composition. Good work.
