My first impression is that this is a rendering done by hand. Something you might have seen from a rendering book form the 70's. The architecture is very modern along the vein of Mies.

Not sure I like the halos from the USM or HDR... Why do you think you over-did the shift? It actually looks rather good - quite normal to my eyes, unlike those top-heavy things you see in many architecture books. BTW, what shift lens did you use & what camera?

Thanks afw

CBN - I agree about the halo's - unfortunate side effect of hdr. I pushed the shift lens to the limit and there is a slight mushrooming effect at the top of the tower. Camera is Canon 5d with a canon 24mm ts-e 3.5 shift.

The 24L ts-e is a nice lens, even if a little too narrow for interiors. Works a treat on standing monuments :-) Have you played with the tilt much?

Andy,
This and the "Saint Mark's Chadderton, Lancashire UK" shot, next to it in your photostream, appeal to my architectural eye -- both tough shots, well done, without benefits of a view camera (or so I presume), given their verticality. You used a tilt-shift lens on the St. Mark's shot (essentially the same effect as rising front on the view camera). Nice work -- Faves, both of them.
