Very nice shot! It's amazing that this tower topped out at over 1/2 mile up! I bet the view from the top is spectacular! Thanks for sharing this.

Wow that is an impressive building not just in height but also in the way you captured it. Great composition and perspective.

Wow! I love the way you've composed this -- I've never seen a photo of this building before, but it is so perfect for the tallest building in the world. Amazing, and thank you!

Great shot. Beautiful building. But it's just too tall. Scary. TFS.
