Disappointing result ... I wanted "Rotterdam visits Sydney" or Ulex's "Dome" to win.

worthy winner :) Hear hear!

I'm also a little bit disappointed about the results. I'm not a great fan of the winning photo at all. The runner up has so much more urbanity in it. But I voted for 'pei squared', original and great abstract work. Unfortunately it became last :(

But of course my congratulations for below-0 :)

cograts to below-0! I did vote for your shot :D

39 votes to 38 :eek:

innovating pictures are worth much!

congratulations to below zero!
and to my co-finalists as well :)

Thank you! __ yeah too close for comfort!! It's interesting what people assume would be the best photo. I'm always a fan of originality at the same time quality - which is why pei sqaured in my opinion should have done better but it's all dependant on the audience. It is hard to beat a huge skyline from above pic if it's taken well at the right time on

I was stunned to come across this natural yet rarely witnessed phenomenon on the street. Normally there's too many people walking on it so you rarely get a chance __ unless of coarse you're walking the streets at an early time, just before sunrise the lights and subtle sun light works well.

I thought, finally a portal to a parallel universe until I looked to check the reflection was right :)

Congrats below-0, you deserved to win this one. But a great job, and exellent images to all other finalist too.
