OK then, as the humble winner of the previous challenge, here is the new theme.
I have chosen Urbanscape/Urban architecture.

Rules for this theme
  1. ############
1. This challenge is about the visual impact of urban architecture. So, please, do not limit yourselves to just wideangle cityscapes: any kind of photography will do (even abstract), as long as the main subject is urban architecture - and yes, even monuments and churches will do! ;-) . Think about composition, first.

2. The photo could've been taken at any time; past, present or future.

3. Time for final entry closes in 23 days from now: Sunday, 17th May at 23h59 GMT-12 (last minute of that day on Earth)

Rules for the Open Challenge in general:
  1. #################
1. Any camera brand may be used to take the image.
2. One image per person only.
3. Reply to the MAIN thread when posting your image.

4. Change the subject of the post to display your image title. This way, when someone comments on your image, it will read your photo's title.

5. If you wish to receive comments and critique on your photo, please post '(CC)' next to the title of your image [e.g. 'Sunshine smile (CC)']

6. Please list basic image attributes like your camera, lense, aperture, shutter speed and ISO along some possible comment of your image.

7. Embed your image in the thread and resize them to a more manageable size (ca. 900 pixels on the longest side) to avoid image scrolling. See instructions for betting an image below.
8. The host of the challenge is not eligible.
9. The host of the challenge chooses the winner and his decision is final.

10. The host should post the results of the challenge at the end of the same thread. This helps to keep the challenge and the result together.

11. The host needs to announce a winner within 72 hours of the closing date of the challenge.

12. The winner of the challenge chooses the next challenge topic. If the winner fails to post a new challenge within 72 hours of being declared the winner, the runner-up should post the new challenge within a further 24 hours.
13. Last, but not least, have fun!

Instructions for embedding images in your post:
  1. ############################
Basically putting http: your-hosting-site/ your-photo.jpg (without the spaces) will show your photo here. This means you can:

1. While your photo on Pbase (or any other web site) is open, copy the URL address from the address box on your tool bar, then paste it into your reply thread. Add a .jpg extension to get the photo to show up. Click on PREVIEW to make sure it's what you want.
or

2. Right click on the image in Pbase (or where ever you've hosted it), click on "Properties"... highlight the link with the .jpg extension on it and paste it into your message text.

I took this shot a few years ago (October 2006) and have always liked it. For the challenge, I cleaned it up a little more... straightened lines with some additional cropping. Panasonic FZ30, 183mm ("35" eq.), f/5, 1/125s, ISO 80. Too bad about the shadow at the bottom. Oh well...

After making the finals in the last challenge, I felt very encouraged.

Here is am square panorama, which is actually part of a 4 piece series, called North-East-South-West, each of which is 60x60in (about 150x150cm, or aprox 500 mpx).
Here is the south view for this contest:
