Ohhh...how lovely! The way that you've composed this makes me think of a fan...what is this building used for? Who are the lucky folk who get to enjoy it?

The Queen Victoria Building houses a large collection of speciality shops, so these wonderful windows, staircases and architecture can be shared by thousands of shoppers daily :)
Alas, it was raining on the day we visited so no outside shots (it has domes on the roof).

I like the perspective. Really beautiful image. The QVB is a great building. I must get in there and try a few shots

Thanks Alexandra, you're right it is indeed a great building. It was the first time I'd been to it and I think it's worth another visit next time I'm down that way. I've got a few more to upload too.
Thanks Kev :)

Beautiful perpective, Dave! It gives a feeling that you've shot it with a fisheye lens. It's like what Lea said: photo-licious! :o)

And yet it was only the kit lens at 28mm :) Thanks Margot.

Beautiful windows. Interesting perspective (not the usual front view).
David de Groot said:
Yep :) I might even have a front-on view shot, but I liked this one better.

'twas a difficult place to shoot at Christmas time without getting people in the shot.
