    Our apartment is only three storey's high so ours get done with a vvveeerrryyy long brush that sprays water. More often than not it is raining at time as well.

    I assume it's a never ending job. You clean the last window, then you start all over again. Talk about job security.

    This picture gives me anxiety. I can't imagine doing that job.

    Now that is one place you will never see me. Bad enough standing on the edge of a cliff looking down but this would scare the ..... out of me. Nice one all the same Rob.

    Is he mad! No such building my way. We get a nosebleed climbing on a bus.

    Well seen, Rob. What a fantastic opportunity! I love the shot and thought I'd make a couple of suggestions for improvement?

    In my opinion (and possibly mine alone!) it's got such strong geometry, and that's such a huge part of the shot, the verticals really need to be absolutely vertical (or dramatically converging, as an alternative for another time).

    Not just close to vertical but as close to pixel-perfect as practical.

    And for the next time your faced with a shot like this, put the prime object of attention - the chap with that visually powerful red bucket - at one of the thirds points of power. You'll get much more punch out of such a shot - changing it from really good to truly superb!

    Remember though, only my opinion ;)
