Italiano: Vista notturna delle Petronas Twin Towers di Kuala Lumpur in Malesia. Inaugurate nel 1996 e con un'altezza di 452 m, le torri Petronas (sede dell'omonima compagnia petrolifera) sono uno degli edifici più alti del mondo; al centro della foto è visibile lo sky bridge, un ponte sospeso che collega le due torri a 171 m di altezza da terra.

As the author of this image, I fail to understand of -how- and -why- it can be simply, and easily be supported an approval of nomination. Due to its rather appalling display of technical understanding and artistic quality of this Petronas Towers image, I sincerely wish to all users to kindly put a stop to nominate this image as a Valued/Feature picture candidate in any Wiki pages, and its other languages, and in any future means of nomination. And, without prior approval of the photographer's consent (myself, in this case).
I uploaded these photos as means of encyclopedic use. It is not intended, and not to be issued as a nomination candidate image due to a user's "thought" and "appreciation" of the photo's underlying aesthetics.

Image Creation/Manipulation
This photo was created in multiple shots, each in their original size of 3888×2592 pixels and was shot with the Canon EOS 400D (Rebel XTi) using Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Zoom Lens to form a single vertical panorama of the Towers. 12 images were taken from top to bottom in Landscape view systematically. All 12 images were later Photomerged in Photoshop CS4.
My main idea was to lead the eyes of the audience/viewers to the towers gently by including the water works located 1/4 of the image in front of the scene. Because of its perspective, thus leading you to view the towers gently from bottom to top, similarly like how someone would look upwards to view a skyscraper.
To be honest this isn't a very good image produced by me; I don't consider this my personal favorite. I may upload further fixes for this image in future.
