OK here are some clues, it's situated in a major European city although it's dedicated to a non-European culture.

It's not in the UK!

Very good, Graham - have you been there?

Had a long weekend in Paris and it was on my "to see" list, but with so many other iconic buildings...

Anyway as we have gone over to modern architecture, this was my way of rendering this UK landmark building for a competition.

That looks like a Photoshop job - the building looks impossibly thin on the right?

Is this the new challenge location?

Yes. Please try to identify this location. It's in the UK and should be quite easy to identify (for those that have been there )

I spent quite some time composing this image to get the building to look like this. It was taken with the C8080 set to its widest angle and held very low to maximise the convergence. Certianly no added PS distortions.

I don't really have a clue, but is it in the City of London?

It is in London, but not in the City.

Is it Canary Wharf?

Re: Challenge: where's this place 2?

Is it Canary Wharf?

It is in Docklands, and very close to Canary Wharf, so you just need to identify which building it is and it's over to you

Re: Challenge: where's this place 2?

A wild goose, I mean guess:

One Poultry?

(but I thought that was in the City...)

Re: Challenge: where's this place 2?

Errrmmm...
No. But it's a wacky name for a wacky building!

This was my way of rendering this UK landmark building for a competition.

It's No.1 West India Quay. http://www.emporis.com/application/?...ng=3&id=100078

I stood to the right of the building, by Browns Resturant and aligned the inner edge of the "Curve" to the central axis of the lens to get the back to look straight up the middle and the sides to lean in. It did well in the competition and featured in my winning print exhibition...
