Cool shot, Nihat. What is the Marriott? A hotel? Is it the big building in the shot, or the building you are shooting from?

I think he was in the hotel restaurant Rob - I believe I've been there if it's the one I'm think of - expensive breakfast!
Great shot - love the gap lighting between the clouds and horizon as it spills over the city - and that window is just spectacular

Thank you very much, Rob - The building I am in, Marriott, Downtown, San Francisco off Market Street. Top floor is called the Penthouse. You can see all around SF views. This one towards west, northwest direction, and you can see the GGB on the right middle section. A day before was miserable with storm and rain, and it was all flat.

Thank you very much, Chris. You know, I never had breakfast there. Yes, it is a spectacular place. I first tried with Olympus OM3 and Zuiko 18mm/3.5. It's a better spread, but Mamiya 7 with 43mm/4.5 gives no distortion which I like on this composition.

Nice one, Nihat. It makes me feel like I'm in the nose turret of a B24.

Thank you, Brian. Having check what B24 looks like - the nose of B24 it is.

Nice Nihat. I must admit I spent a bit of time wondering why the words "copyr" were on the window or if it was a reflection. Then I realised it was the watermark! Small screens are wonderful aren't they.

Thank you, Paul! Yes, indeed. I am still working on the watermark stuff.

Wonderful again Nihat. The thing I like most about it (apart from the composition) is the contrast in contrast: the difference between tones of the frame and interior and the outside scene, with its contrast reduced by the reflections in the glass. Brilliant.
