superb shot!

Great composition and strong graphic appeal.

thats amazing

wow, I don’t know where this is, but it is a truly beautiful shot

Love the perspective here Philip, with the shot tower emerging from the corner and reaching up into the dome. Wonderful example of new and old architectures complementing each other.

Great perspective, excellent!

What a fantastic photo…............what lens did you use Philip, was it the sigma 10-20mm

What a view!

It just goes to prove that History does not have to end for the almighty $. Way to many wonderful buildings give way to progress. Where they can compliment the new site.

That dome goes up 70 metres to house this tower

extraordinary perspective ..

very nice, similar to a picture of mine!

have you added this to the flickr shot tower group?

I just love this shot it is so stunning and the differences in the building and structure is awesome. Excellent angle and off centre. Would look fabulous in B&W too.

Wonderful perspective on the Shot Tower. It makes an interesting image.

awesome perspective for this fantastic view!!

Great perspective.wow

Great shot Philip – congrats !

Great shot….! Great Perspective.

Nice repetition, catchy shot

Awesome perspective and details !

What a freaking rip off. The featured people need to get their act together.

I think he means he uploaded an almost identical image a couple of months ago.

Spectacular shot !

Great shot of Melbourne Central.
Very eye catching

flipping INCREDIBLE!!! fantastic capture!

Excellent capture !

Beautiful shot!!!

awesome in every way!

Wow!

brilliant image

Fantastic!!!!

I like the concept, the title, and the perspective. A sharply captured image that makes you start thinking of more than just what you see. We usually re-use and re-cycle urban spaces and lots, but here is a building that men have gone out of their way to preserve.

Amazing linear composition + perspective. Nice contrast w/the minimal building.

Excellent perspective and a really cool composition

the web of lives….

wow.. where is this place?!

thanks for your kindness ~

Brilliant image Philip.

How weird! I took the nearly same shot but at night time! Yours looks better!

Love the POV and the shadows falling across the shot tower. Great shot

I seem to like your “looking up” images!
Love the geometric patterns of tower, brickwork and shadows and your perspective is wonderful.

Very interesting shot and composition, love the contrast and color too!

Great work with something that is so often photographed. I’ve never seen any other look quite this good!

cool! :-)

Love the patterns in this shot..well captured

absolutely awesome shot

An Impressive picture. Very nice shot.

This is great!! I’m so proud of Melbourne for saving this shot tower – it’s now iconic!! Fabulous comp here Phillip (and thanks for starting the new group!!)

Wonderful the developers decided to keep this tower
A great photo and one all Melburnians easily recognise and have all taken photos of I’m sure. I know I have, but nowhere near as good as this one.

Great shot—be sure to enter your phot into the group for the What a Shot challenge, thanks.

brilliant

Superb mate.

Congrats

great image Phillip – nice to see a Melbourne landmark in the domes contest when browsing through! You’ve done great job capturing this
