1	erlandpil (3/24/2008 4:19:10 AM) I like it Good capture erland
2	Rudi Van Gestel (3/24/2008 5:05:45 AM) The star in the middle looks a bit boring, and personally, ... I think I would have filled it with some nice clouds, to break a little bit with overall symmetry...!!! Overall very nice, Wendy! Sincerely, Rudi

7	Top 10 Recommendation bashir (kindness costs nothing...) (3/24/2008 5:35:58 AM) PERFECT COMPOSITION. PERFECT SHOT. VERY WELL JOB.
8	NickB (What? Who? Where? When?) (3/24/2008 7:01:49 AM) I like this as is. The sky looks very metallic which is in keeping with the structure. You could possibly alter the gradient of the sky to make it more uniform? My only little niggle is that I wish there was equal space to the top of the star as there is to the bottom. Still a very cool capture.
9	Top 10 Recommendation Amril Nuryan (3/24/2008 7:23:23 AM) into my favorite photo !

12	*rose* (3/24/2008 8:54:01 AM) I like how the sky works with the grays in the building. Very cool shot. Would make a great entry for the Symmetry theme on April 4.
13	MJFerron (3/24/2008 9:18:18 AM) Yes very cool indeed. Sometimes it pays to look in another direction other than the one we walk in. :)
14	*rose* (3/24/2008 9:25:00 AM) #13 MJFerron(Is it strange I should change?): My grandaddy always told me, "Dumb animals don't look up." Why, I don't know ;)
15	*rose* (3/24/2008 9:25:49 AM) Wendy, this would also make a great b&w!
16	Per H�kon Christiansen (3/24/2008 9:31:50 AM) #13 MJFerron(Is it strange I should change?): #14 rose(excuses, excuses...): Precisely! And this is what separates us from other pedestrians. Just notice when you see a group where one is an eager photographer!
17	Per H�kon Christiansen (3/24/2008 9:32:31 AM) Perfect! Who cannot love this?
18	CherylB (mark polis is an asshole dick combo) (3/24/2008 9:45:31 AM) strange angle..not sure what is real and what is edited. makes an interesting pic though

22	Gotchas (( Wendy)) (3/24/2008 11:56:05 AM) #7 bashir(Call me Naseer): #8 NickB: Yes, you are right there is a small difference on top and on the bottom.

I saw it too late. #13 MJFerron(Is it strange I should change?): #17 Per Håkon Christiansen: #18 CherylB(nobody stands on my pedestal..vacancy): Hi Cheryl, everything is real in this photo.

30	FrankT ( pot'hbe'chug yay qa) (3/24/2008 4:30:14 PM) Prachtig Wendy!!!! very good, very creative and well seen!
31	CherylB (mark polis is an asshole dick combo) (3/24/2008 4:47:28 PM) #22 Gotchas(Wendy de Kok): ok so this is photoshop and not something I would see if I stood there and looked up? just curious because of your category..
32	Gotchas (( Wendy)) (3/24/2008 4:55:43 PM) #31 CherylB(nobody stands on my pedestal..vacancy): No cheryl, this is no Photoshop work. The cube houses are situated in a little 'forrest' and when you entered it, you can get in the middle of it and when you look up, this is one of the things you can see. There are lots of different scenes and it's really a very photogenic place. But I guess it's difficult to understand, you'll just have to see it! #23 Yan M: #24 Vovec: #25 Joliveira(Rick Xavier): #26 Wim Lassche: #27 ELLI DIMITRIOU: #28 Corry: #29 Amuletum(I missed out on the hugs :-(): #30 FrankT(Frank Terlien): Many thanks to you too :)

35	Tim Pereira ( ) (3/24/2008 9:36:10 PM) Very kool shot, very different!! :)
36	CherylB (mark polis is an asshole dick combo) (3/24/2008 10:56:31 PM) #32 Gotchas(Wendy de Kok): ok, I think I get it now..thanks
