Ummm. So what's the ugly and what's the lovely visually, here?

I think the idea of it being ugly is that it's this ultra modern building that is sitting right at the end of the Royal Mile and right next to Holyrood Palace (sp?) so it's clashing with the old style architecture that surrounds the new building. At least that's what I get from it being entered into this category. I personally love the building and this picture captures it perfectly

A beautiful photograph, but I would loose some of the foreground.

Image cropped as suggested..

thanks

Fantastic capture. Amazing to see such workmanship on such a large scale.

Seeing what people did a long time ago, makes us realise that we aren't all that clever.

There's a bit too much of the dark tree on the left, it is dominating the picture, but the lighting on the building is very rich and enjoyable!

A beautiful building and nice photo, but not really odd.

I agree with friiskiwi ... Nice but not odd.
