Artist's Comments

Hello everyone! Here's a shot I took a few days ago in Espoo, Finland (and far from my usual nature shots hehe). This is a building called "Meritorni", which is 70 metres (230 ft) high, 22 floors, the tallest building in the area and built in 1999. It's about 2 metres from the shore, so it's built extremely close to the water. I processed the RAW in PS and added the blue/cyanish tone, soft vignetting and the frame.

Print available.

Info: Canon EOS 20D | Sigma 12-24mm EX HSM | ISO100 | f/14 | 1/40 secs

Hope you like it. Comments and critiques are welcomed.

I like how it has a modern look to it. In my oppinion this is very advertisement like, as I could imagine this image in a magazine. Keep up the excellent work.

Also how's that lens hold up for you? Do you think it was a good buy?

They have been left to become a ghost town.
It’s become my flaw,
To try to draw.
It’s become a suicidal pill,
I’ve lost all my will.”
