Taipei 101, Taipei, Taiwan. It was just so happened to be such a foggy day and managed to capture this shot. Feedback would be great :)

Great photo overall. Would a portrait format have been a better fit for this subject? A lot of negative space. I also would have edited out that little bit of foliage in the bottom left and, because I like symmetry wherever possible, I may have tried to balance out the bottom section of the building framing your subject to make it more balanced.

thank you for your feedback, appreciate it! I actually posted this as a portrait on my Instagram but decided to post it as a landscape here.

I wish I could see the building in the foreground I bit better. Maybe a little bit brighter because it looks as if there might be some cool bluish lighting going on but other than that its a cool shot and idea.

thank you for your feedback! really appreciate it! i made the mistake of not taking an extra shot to expose the foreground to make a nice composite, so it was pretty noisy when I brightened the foreground. But thnak you once again for your feedback! :)

Three-star so close to a four-star. Portrait mode would do it for me to vote four-star. Perhaps letting us see more of the foreground "building?" would help as well.

Very nice shot!
