Comment from Tony B
This is certainly a different presentation of the new iconic building, we do not often see it surrounded by fog. Very nicely put together and the sun reflecting off the window adds a bit of excitement to the well cropped image.

Structure surrounded by fog reflecting Sun ray from one of its portion captured beautifully in an artistic composition. Great colour, lighting and focus. Nice snap.

Fred,
A great picture of this iconic Hotel in Dubai with the sun throwing its reflection onto a glass panael/window a third of the way to the top. as it pierces through the blanket of fog at low levels. Superb lighting, camera techniques & sharp focus

Very nice piece. I love the softness you've used with the different images. I like the varied tonal range of blue. Well done.

Comment from DavidP
A very famous and fancy hotel in Dubai. Supergold has posted many photos of this hotel also. I really like the low layer of fog around the bottom half of the hotel with the reflection of the sun on the window like a beacon. Beautiful photo Marieann and a great capture of this gorgeous scene.
Thanks for sharing it.
David

Comment from gidavidson
A different and neat shot Fred. Like the reflected light as it is filtered by the morning fog with a nice blue sky for bg. Sure is a unique looking building all very well framed and focused.
I see you survived Christmas and are now ready to jump into the new year.

What a beautiful sight. The building is a masterpiece and you captured it from a wonderful angle. The sun reflection is perfect. Great contrast with the bright blue sky is amazing

Good focus.
