The World Financial Centre building or tower in Pudong, Shanghai, China

The is the World Financial Centre building in Shanghai. I grabbed this shot using my mobile photo in June 2009. The posts and wall at the foot of the picture are part of building work for the 2010 World Expo in Shanghai. This was just a grab shot. I didn’t take allot of time over it. No tripod or lighting. Just a quick point and click. However, it has turned out to be one of the most popular photographs in my collection. By all rights, it shouldn’t be. It has many errors in it. The picture isn’t completely sharp focus. There’s a bit of camera shake. There are posts and fences encroaching in the bottom and so on. But none of that seems to matter. People, generally just like the view of the building stretching up into the night sky.
