Whoa
What a great picture. It has a really strange effect when you scroll down. Its almost as if the blurred part just keeps going with you and then when you scroll up again it is like it grows. Weird but clever.

But a good composition, and nice strange effect.
Here's a photo I took very early on Saturday - Selfridges catching the rising sun - I used Raw (PEF) and used the auto setting - otherwise no adjustments. Looks totally different to your shot with the lensbaby!! I used the long end of my 18-250 lens and used -2 EV. Can't make up my mind about it!!

That's a good question about the floodlights - Kenty what's the answer!
It is a cracking subject - I wonder what it's like inside?

Mike, I was there earlier this year and inside its just another department store, no big surprises or delights in there.

Colours are quite different at that time of day.
I expect I can locate someone who works downtown in Birmingham who can tell us if it is lit at night and how well. I can't see it being as good as daylight though.

Kenty's shot does not please me so much, it does not have the dynamic effect and although I enjoy the repeated pattern there is nothing to draw the eye into the shot and retain the interest, somehow no where on the shot seems crisp something which I feel these sort of shots require or they have no punch.
It would seem this building would be perfect for a set of shots as it seems to offer many views and angles to the viewer and I would think it could be revisited on many occasions and never reproduce the same results.

The main problem I have with the lensbaby is its focal length of 50mm. It's too long.
