With that building in the lower rh section of the image, I'd like to see the freeway removed in post so that we can see the whole of that building.
Yeah, nah.
What Matt said; well spotted.

Thank you gentlemen. Several people found this image puzzling and I understand why. Everything in the image is equally sharp, the furthest and the closest objects. Therefore what the eyes see confuses the brain initially. It's a bit like those images that show either a young woman or an old lady.
I took the photo from the Brisbane City Hall's tower towards Roma Street station. The reason I like this picture is because it reminded me of traditional Chinese paintings. In those paintings the artist tried to paint three dimensional landscapes in a canvas with two dimensions getting this type of vertical perspective. Once your brain decodes the basic fact that your eyes are looking at a depth of field with a two dimensional perspective the urban landscape becomes mundane, I think.

Not mundane Zaff. A wonderful example of
modern urban sprawl that will be of interest to future generations when they forensically disassemble the causes of the collapse of society and the environment. We should have opted for a village life.
