    I agree. This is fascinating. It looks like a stage set but it's real.

    Re: Waiting for God

    I love the contrast between the dark, old look of the left half and the bright, modern colour of the right. Great photo!

    Fantastic shot! Such a well exposed and composed shot.

    I can't find anything I don't like about it.

    Re: Waiting for God

    Brilliant Yoyo.
    I have looked at this for a long time simply because I did not want to take my eyes away from it. Besides the technical excellence it's got a foreboding background with wonderful depth and with such an array of colours and shades it becomes a picture of great interest and beauty.
    I'm rather jealous.

    Re: Waiting for God

    Yoyo - It has strong geometry. But somehow it looks tilted to me.. the left side isn't plum. At the same time the ground is tilted the other way (CCW). Not your fault and probably not even detectable by most as I am more picky about lines than most, but it seems like so many lens have barrel or pincushion distortion.. argg.

    Re: Waiting for God

    Wow, for two seconds thought it was a photo collage, until I realised it was real.

    That would have not survived one night in my neighbourhood without being vandalized.

    Thanks for sharing that stunner with us.

    Re: Waiting for God

    Yoyo,

    this is a wonderful photo and I am envyous of the skill used to capture it.

    I really like the title you gave it, it intrigued me, purely because I would not have thought of it like that.

    Re: Waiting for God

    Hi Nic,
    I am glad that you like the photo. The shot was taken with a Nikkor 14-24 mm at 14mm. The settings were ISO 4000, f/4, and 1/50s.

    Re: Waiting for God

    Very good, absolutely perfect angle, well done. That is also a very unusual color cast, but in a very appealing and colorful way. I am perplexed as to the light source - was this using a fill-flash? Or city/street lights?

    Re: Waiting for God

    Great shot, Yoyo. I cannot decide if I'm ok with the yellow cast on the scene from the tungsten lights, I guess. Other than that, i think it is superb.
    Well done.

    You can certainly see in a photo that behind the camera someone knows what they are doing, great shot.
