Great work. Can see why you like it!

Welcome back!

Wow, that is truly spectacular!

WOW & AMAZING! The mood with the overcast sky....'nuff said.

Stunning image and building. Great mood.

Stunning image and well timed too!

Yup, having watched several documentaries and seen other shots of this monster as it grows, I have often wondered if there would be a perfect vantage point. It looks like you may have found it. From other angles it appears nestled amongst smaller constructions from every angle, and I didn't think there would be an angle like this with the water in the foreground. The tonality is spot on as well!... and are they clouds?...

One word: Perfect. Some more words: Beautiful toning and simplicity. This is amazing!

Christ...that's awesome. Those rain clouds came in useful then!
Obviously I totally support the name of this image too, as my batman t-shirt proves.

love the tones and the white of the water really does stand out. Great image

BRILLIANT.

Could you upload the original of this so I could see how much work has been done on it?

I think I'll have to sign up to your tutorials

amazing capture!!!

Wow! These kinds of buildings just don't seem real. More like something out of a rather dark and foreboding future. Is this kind (size) of architecture sustainable in Dubai? It's stunning, but the cost to human life and dignity of putting these up makes me wonder how much awe is appropriate. Still, it's an amazing image--the politics of this aside.

This isn't your daddy's run of the mill sky scraper! Fascinating connection to the tones of the sky, clouds and structures. The building is proud and it is interesting, from the perspective of a New Yorker, to see this tower rise in the absence of a skyline.

this is amazing! i love everything about it...the tone, the composition. beautiful job!

Like I commented on the last shot (time to go) DJN is a Master at Black and White conversion/toning. For me it is the fountain water that puts the wow into this one, it grabs your eye and carries you right up the tower.

Amazing pic Dave! And love the title :)

You really really really done a great job taking pictures of Burj Dubai .. am not surprised though..
am looking forward for the rest of the pictures

Absolutely stunning! That building amazing - a tribute to architects and engineers.

Hi Dave, Great image, I enjoy the sky behind this dark tower. It adds that dark element to the dark city of Gotham. Title definitely fits the image. I think I do see Batman swinging from the left-hand side of the building. :)

Utterly awesome ... congrats David

Great image with a fantastic mood. Really has a Gotham City feel to it, contrasted by the bright fountains in the foreground. I do love this time of year, all you guys that go there are starting to pump out some great images from the event. Hope to see more.
Regards,

Dave

Extraordinarily well done David. I thoroughly enjoyed admiring your photograph.

Blimey, that is a very tall building underlined by the great juxtaposition of those cranes which I know loom over any landscape. To be dwarfed by the structure really gives context as to height. Quite a brooding shot which befits the subject. I wouldn't be able to feel anything other than vulnerable in such a tall building...

This photo feels like a breath of fresh air :).

OMFG! That thing is huge. Love the mood!

This image is worthy of inclusion in any gallery I've ever visited. I'm sure that in years to come this will still stand out as one of those 'special' shots.

nice work, great shot!

Holy images Batman that's a bit good. Quite a marked difference to the original and as csj says spot on tonality.

This is remarkable! Well done! Even the original, without any "enhancing," is beautiful. Nice capture.

Outstanding shot. Definitely very Gotham.

Huston we have lift off ;o) Brilliant.

Beautiful framing, black and white suits this fantastic scene

wow, this IS something else ! really stunning!

Pretty impressive. It really looks like from a batman movie.

Thanks everyone :)

This makes me want to throw my camera away. Sick.

sweeet! clearly you didn't get chased off by security guards like i did.

wp.

Can't believe I missed this photo was you published it.. I'm in awe.

This is so epic in many ways.

Amazing pic- like the tonality

i really like the postprocessing here. nice work!

Wonderful building and nice photo!
