Used Tokina 24-200 lens at 24mm with polarizer in place. No crop, deepened the midtone shadows a bit, brought out the color in the columns a touch. Sharpened.

alice ... OMG.. OMG ..WOW ... this is the most awesome image ... i love abstract and this is both abstract AND realistic ... you are an amazing photographer ... i bought a polarizing filter a week ago and just about havent had it off the camera since ... love the effect it gives with those incredibly intense/deep blue skies ... love the colour contrasts in this image .. the blue and the brown of the columns .. love the dirt in the puddle creating a sort of frame ... just excellent ...
This one will probably do very well because it is a different twist on the challenge. I find the bit of dark tree reflection in the bottom right distracting. Otherwise, it is very nice. I like the shadows shown on the columns.
Very nice, you always take a risk when you submit a "artsy" photo, but I hope this one does well since I like it a lot. So you get 9 for art and courage.
Possibly my favorite shot of the challenge. This show the subject in a new and innovative way. Good colors, nice sharp image in the water. I love these kinds of shots, and they are fun to try and get. You've done a great job here. 10
I really liked ths image, gave it an 8. I'd be interested to see what a 180 deg. rotation would have done for your voting. It might have made people feel less upside down.
First I thought, so what ... just show me the columns. But then I realised how very clever this is, because it seemed like looking back in time to a vanished, classical age. Finally I decided I probably shouldn't have had that third whiskey. Whatever, it's a memorable image. 7.
Now this is awesome. This is one of the most interesting ones I've seen so far. This gives me the feeling of ancient ruins. The reflection with the mud and leaves is just so perfect. This is one of my 10's
