• Tokyo Cityscape. Taken from my hotel room, looking towards Ginza, Tokyo Tower and onwards to Shibuya.

  [UPDATE] To all that have asked whether this is an HDR. It is not. The shot is taken at the right time (called the Blue Hour - when the light is just perfect.) THanks for your comments. :-)

• Absolutely amazing. Looks like a scene from a sci fi movie. It's unreal! You should be very proud of this one.
  Bob Towery @ 08-20-2009
• Fantastic, the sky is perfect. And I love the sense of wideness in the shot, yet it's nothing but tall buildings across the frame!
  SD (Aspherical) @ 08-20-2009
• Excellent! Wonderful blue tones and light. Wonderful sky. A perfect shot. Love it.
  pernilla @ 08-21-2009
• Grandeur buildings! I commend the one who took the picture. Another thing, if you are in vacation either in the US, Mexico, or Spain, Keshot will entertain your needs and have them get memories of your tours and vacations and send your pics to your love ones or family throughout the world.
  Keshot @ 08-21-2009

  Jaol @ 08-21-2009
• Well that's Tokyo, the Tokyo i remember from a now distant week spent there. Great job!
  PixeLuz @ 08-21-2009
• It's amazing how many details you have captured in this frame, and the cool blue hue combined with the warmth of the city lights gives it a very ominous feeling.
  Claus Petersen @ 08-21-2009
• Very impressive image. I like all the blue.
  sherri @ 08-21-2009

  Amit Basu - Black and White Ph @ 08-21-2009
• wow, spectacular!
  yz @ 08-21-2009
• Wow, this is really stunning, striking and awe-inspiring! The patchwork of buildings plays perfectly against the sky, with the red tower forming a focal point, stopping the image from just becoming a pattern. Interesting ordered rows of lights, and well captured red lights framing the tower-blocks. The washed-out areas in the bottom corners look a bit odd though, but a contrast punch would sort that out. Anyway, great image, dramatic sky! Wow :]
  John @ 08-21-2009
