Tall Buildings by Siew Bee Lim

Captured along the Singapore River, this architectural study explores the striking juxtaposition between the historic, low-rise structures of Boat Quay and the towering modern skyscrapers of the city skyline. Faced with the limitations of a standard wide-angle lens, the photographer employed creative framing to navigate the challenges of perspective and vertical alignment. The resulting image is a testament to the power of working within one's technical constraints, transforming a difficult composition into a compelling narrative of urban evolution. This photograph is award-worthy for its thoughtful observation of Singapore’s changing architectural landscape and the deliberate effort to balance heritage with modernity.
