Burj Khalifa, Dubai
Currently the tallest building in the world (soon to be over-taken by Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Tower).

I guess by now you may have seen the photos of Burj Khalifa a few hundred times...but it just feels different when you take the shot yourself. I'm quite happy with my amateurish work nonetheless. 

Side story (in case you haven't heard, but it's pretty well known among the expats here) - the building was originally named &quot;Burj Dubai&quot;. But just before its grand opening, its name was changed to &quot;Burj Khalifa&quot; (the name Khalifa comes from the late king and founding father of the UAE). The rumour has it that the project owner - essentially Dubai's ruling family - ran out of money to complete the construction. Therefore it had to turn to the big brothers in Abu Dhabi to borrow some money. This is how they probably made a deal to change its name in exchange for the loan...

The image composes of only two exposures (does this qualify as an HDR?) using PhotoMerge Exposure in PSE10. I wanted to combine 3 exposures, but the third one is mis-aligned and unfortunately there is no auto-align feature in PSE10. Will I spend another 1000 bucks for CS in order to have this feature? Thanks, but no thanks...
