Burj Dubai Pano - From The Palace Hotel

This is a panoramic photo of the tallest tower in the world, the famous Burj Dubai; which nowadays is higher than 780 meters and has over 160 floors, but the final height has not been confirmed yet (as it is still under construction).

This is a view from the Palace Hotel and the picture was made by stitching together 3 horizontal photos taken at 22mm with a DSLR, no way to get it all in only 1 picture (without a wider angle lens)

Best viewed large on black

Thank you for the comment and faving it bowtoo
I was trying to put the building in perspective and provide some context and comparison (so I am happy it came through).
The leaning is very hard to avoid with such a extremely tall building and having to stitch wide pictures together, one thing I have learnt so far photographing it, is that you should center it to avoid strong distortions, otherwise it can bend across the frame.
