Mosques are not all B&W

but this one is :)
well a split toned B&W one any way

after seeing gooseberry's great high key B&W shot of the Old Supreme Court building in Singapore http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24712 I went looking for something similar to try to get the same look.... I'm not even close but I like it for a first effort. I will keep trying

By the way I'm beginning to hate power lines here in Sydney I spent ages cloning out the 8 power lines that ran right through this shot the results aren't to bad at this size, but there is no way I could use the large size file for anything without a lot more work

Great stuff yet again Firsty - your cloning technique is good, as evident in this image!

very interesting shapes, and your lighting/time of day captures them very well

great shot!

Very nice. I like it. Although you may want to consider some distortion correction for vertical elements.

there has already been a lot of distortion correction, I stretched the top out about 15% each side. The shot was taken at 17mm and the building is fairly large and I had to stand fairly close to miss the poles holding up the wires

Yes, it's almost vertical I guess. Can't do much better unless you use tilt and shift lens.

Well done!
