Petronas Towers
Some buildings are better photographed at night. I think this is one of them.

It was a question of time and opportunity. I only got to see the building at night from the inside of a bus.

I like the shot - might look good in mono too.

Sorry Gav...it was a slightly tongue in cheek comment which I couldn't resist.
I agree with Zoundz...the shot has a "Metropolis" feel to it which I like.
And having seen images of it at night, I would also agree with you that it is quite spectacular when lit.
I used to live in KL back in the early nineties, and I remember when the towers were first commissioned, they put a huge double page spread in the national newspapers showing an artist's renderings of how the finished structure would look. I remember thinking then, that it would be a sight to behold when finished.
I visited the site at the time, but all that was there was a huge hole in the ground as they had just started to lay the foundations.
Anyhoo..
Nice picture, but I'd maybe think about centering it up a little as it's slightly skewed to the right.

Magnificent building, would love to see it in the flesh, it doe slook more dramatic at night, but I think it's a really nice strong image, and agree with Phil about trying it in mono, and the others about the "Metropolis" feel.
