The Shanghai Grand Theatre is on the left. On the right is the side of the Shanghai Art Museum. This photo was taken from the courtyard of the art museum, an oasis alongside People’s Square.
I am an architecture freak so I LOVED this shot. The buildings themselves are fantastic, but the angles you caught really make everything pop. You composition is exquisite!
The shot could benefit from some more tension, to play on the contrast of old and new. The sweeping curve in the left foreground would be better placed if it appeared to just touch the dome in the distance, not jutting into it as it is here.

Another fascinating architecture shot. I’ve never seen a building like that with a platform that curved upwards.

WOW! Very interesting. The tip of the wall of the building on the left , looks like it’s touching the top of the museum.
