Great perspective and terrific choice in tones Martin which brings out the reflections and gives it a surreal look. Very nice!

Another one that makes me a bit dizzy, but love your perspective and that sky/light. Nice work!

It does look like the earth as seen from above. The cloud reflections in the window are cool.

I like this one. well there go my chances of a vote LOL. Great shot all round or should I say all wave.

A very dramatic shot, Martin, and Brent is right - the duotoning does bring out the cloud texture even better.

Looks like we were typing at the same time, Brent. Not really sure what the building is... it's near the WTC here and there's a group of EU flags in front of it, so if I had to guess just off-hand I would say it's a governmental something or other. Actually I do have a reflection shot that includes the flags, I'll post that in a bit...

Why it's a space station, obviously! And those are not clouds, that's planet Earth below! ;)
JP, ashamed to say that I don't actually know what this building is even though I used to pass by it twice a day. Wish I'd had taken a full frontal of it to show. In reality it's not too impressive, probably because it's not very high. The "old school" structure up top is actually another building behind the glass structure, just that it's taller so you can see the top of it even when looking up right in front of this glass thing. I'll be walking by it again sometime this week, I'll take a shot of it an add it to the dropbox. Thanks fer checking it out... yeah, the ol' R1 sometimes manages to get something decent eh ;)

Wow! Nice! Took me a minute to realize much of that was window rather than some sort of concrete structure or something. What an awesome sky in either version but the duotone seems to bring it out especially well. Love that dark swoosh separating glass and sky here. Do tell Martin- what is this place that aided such an impressive capture for you?

Very impressive photo. I love the perspective, the composition, and the clouds really ad some sense of drama. Very nice!
