Photographer's Note
This time, something that was not my usual photography theme (nature), also, this is one of my first architectural photos of Balikpapan taken with SLR. Thats pretty funny for me, since i lived on Balikpapan.
The Fantasy word came from that building's name, Mal Fantasi, one big mall/plaza on Balikpapan.
I decided to not carry tripod, because i want to walk by foot to this place from my home (about 2 KM).
I used polarizer to make the sky bluer, and to eliminate some reflection.I take this scene with this unusual (or maybe unpleasing?) angle because there were too much distracting object in front of me, like cars, peoples, flowers, etc,i think its better this way.
I like this typical Kodak's warmth colous, but 200 (rated at 160) is yields very grainy result. I don't really like 200, but thats the only choice that available at store.
Post processing, like usual, despeckled here and there, because the poor scan result. No contrast, brightness, saturation or other color adjusmet.
Ok, enough this crap (did you read it anyway ?:D), Hope you enjoy it, and thank you for your visit, comments, critique, and ratings.
Keep Rawking on free world !! ups, wrong window.

Nice, bright colors. You may want to lower the brightness to balance the exposure on the building

La composition est bien réussie Amri. Ce sont des couleurs douces et l'architecture nous est bien présentée. Good work.

This looks like a disneyland, but this is real. Very good shot, nice angle, only one thing could be a bit better ; more sharpness and noise remove.
Thanks for sharing amri.
Regards, Don.
