Abstract Space Needle

All right, I have to go through Photobucket to post instead of directly from the computer. So, I am reposting a shot.
I recently visited Seattle and I wanted something a little bit different.

Wow! I dig this, Arne! I like the distortion and the colors but can't help wondering if it's too distorted. If you didn't say what the subject was, I'm not sure if I'd know. Does it matter to you if the viewer knows? Would it work without the title?

By the way, sorry about the upload problems. We had a pretty catastrophic gallery server failure and we're still sorting out the final issues. I thought the forum upload was pretty much back to normal, though. Can you give it another shot and see if it works? Maybe upload another image from this shoot.

Thanks for sharing!

I really like the colors and the fact that you can CLEARLY tell it is a reflection, however I am inclined to agree, perhaps it is a bit too distorted? Had you not said what it was it almost looks like a ferris wheel or some other type of carnival ride. I do love that you tried something different though, that is how great photos are made!
