Assignment #85: Unusual Angles NOW VOTING!

On behalf of the Assignment #84 winner, Jonathan Huyer, I would like to present the topic for Assignment #85: Unusual Angles

As described by Jonathan:

The image should be taken from any angle except level. Point the camera up, down, 45 degrees... or whatever it takes to make a compelling image with an unexpected but highly interesting point of view. The main reason for choosing this assignment is because I tend to be a very level shooter, and I'm looking for creative inspiration!

The Finalists:Jerrytech1 "Midtown Sky" --- the strong diagonal angles, with the lone cloud and the surreal tone all combine to make a unique and compelling image

Neuro "Under L'Arc" --- the perfect symmetry, exceptional sharpness, and sparkle from the spotlights all work together in this strong composition

conropl "Upside-Down Reflection" --- a creative and artistic take on a peaceful scene

cls "Bottom floor view" --- an eye-catching view with strong use of monochrome tones that together make me feel like I'm about to enter the Twilight Zone

As am I, and in fact I already have in mind what I want to shoot. But likewise, here are some from my archives (one of which was inspired by Brant's middle shot above)... Just in case I don't manage to get where I want to go (which is near work, but will require my schedule, blue hour, and New England weather to cooperate), the first one will be my submission.
