Top notch mate! You should enter the urban photo contests at SSC, I reckon you'd do well. Check it out: SSC Contest

Thanks for the comments! I of course will keep it up. Maybe again next week.
And Riise, I entered once and did well, but need to do so on a more regular basis.

Hey look, it is you taking this photo! What a mind fuck.




I am seriously impressed by these photos. The other ones were good, but these are GREAT. Amazing work. You have a great eye. You really, really should show these off in the city photos section

My favourites:

This one is amazing. It will forever enhance my experience with this peice of art:




Out of all the dozens of pics we see from this angle each year, this one is my favourite


Gorgeous when scanning by it:


Stunning:

These are great photos Arriviste. I'd have to say these are as good as any I've seen on this forum. Very artistic pictures.
I have tried to take these kind of pictures myself but I just don't have the artistic touch I guess

Absolutely stunning. Really vibrant, and a perfect saturation, IMHO. Wish I could do this.

/\--- YOU CAN!!! It's just moving around a lot, and snapping away. I am constantly adjusting my camera, so don't think that each of these is the only one. Most are the best of 3.

Thats a hell of a compliment. We are lucky to have some great photographers on this forum. I'm honoured you think I'm among them.
