wow that's worst than Beijing in the morning! Great capture though, add a more of a reddish cast on the shot and this is the opening scene from Blade Runner...so cool but so bad at the same time.

Score 4/10 (from the Score Me! group) It's not a bad shot, but there seems to be some disturbance in the sky (image compression?) Makes me glad to be in Italy...

Would be a higher score if I was depressed.

I've been to Shanghai a couple of times this year and I don't remember the Smog being this bad... almost looks like the smoke after a bombing. Which building did you take this from?

As for the photo, I think the view could have been stunning, and I'd have given a higher score if you'd waited for the smog to clear for a better shot.

It's taken from the Jin Mao tower. As for the smog: although not making the picture pretty, I like the sad sphere it gives.

Great shot, looked out of that window a few times at dawn. Sometimes an early morning sometimes a late night, either way that is how the city looks.

Shanghai seems to be always dark and moody. But always compelling.
