oo0 The Eye 0oo, a photo from Kuala Lumpur, West

Photographer's Note

Besides the imposing Petronas Twin Tower this image is probably the next most photograph structure in Malaysia...The Malaysian Eye. This wheel is situated in a recreational park just beyond the city border. It is close to a lake where water based shows are often held. I wanted a simple approach to this image and at the same time emphasise the size of the wheel. The tent and the people queing to buy a ride is miniscule compared to the wheel. I did not have the chance to ride the wheel yet, maybe one day soon.

I do not normally photograph scene like this but like any other photographers one just can't help giving it a go when the scene present itself. This is done in HDR from a single RAW image. Hope you like it with the somewhat surreal effect.

Hello Mustapha,
I'm not surprised it is so often photographed, it makes a wonderful focus! In fact, the wheel looks well with the huge skyscraper - they look like a giant spinning wheel! Great pov and nice composition.
Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Mustapha,
I though at the first moment that you was capturing the London Eye. I think it's quite similar. Nice view with beautiful colours. I like the effect you have gived.
Well done.
