    Spectacular, Liban. love the color. I think it appears somewhat distorted either because you were not dead center with it and/or you used a wide angle lens. Possibly skewing it a bit might help, but other than that its a winner.

    Nice shot Liban. You controlled the bright lights in the center well. Great colors too.

    Wtf... when did I give you permission to shoot my house?

    Beautifully shot. I particularly love the detail in the grass.

    The movement in the flag is odd but cool. Are those people on the steps?

    Great exposure, no blown out lights and there even some detail in the sky. Both towers seem slightly skewed possibly my imagination.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    Sehr gut, Liben. But I also see that distortion on the bottom street line, and it is distracting.

    Unfortunately, although I just tried (and pretty hard too), I was also unsuccessful in getting it to look right with PS' Distortion effect. Not only that, but using that tool made the entire image blurry, and attempting to sharpen it up afterward was pretty much completely ineffective.

    Re: Deutscher Bundestag

    very nice , great symetry in the building , i like the blue hour sky in combination with the warm tones on the building

    I tried to correct the distortion
    1. picked a horizontal line and made horizontal, only a 0.2 degree correction
    2. tried distortion control on capture nx2 (-20% ) and it made the foreground line horizontal, the rest of the horizontal lines are flat
    3. towers are more separated on the top, which with gimp, I know how to fix , but I do not have installed at this time.

    Are we being to picky about this ? the shot is great as is

    GB, yeah it's tough! thanks man.

    Armando, thanks for the suggestion. Don't worry, i love hearing about all the nitpick stuff, i enjoy that more than the positives sometimes.
