This is a shot I took over Christmas vacation while I was in london.
I chose this shot because I knew:
1. I take my best pictures when I'm in new places therefore this is better than many shots i get within my own house or neighborhood that i have taken pictures of a million times already.
2. I like the angle of this shot, it makes it different than your regular straight up shot.

I cropped this to make it tighter around the tower. I raised saturation as well as brightness.
Thats it.

nice shot of the tower. i hope you're getting some good comments and suggestions, and this you're not getting overlooked in this monster challenge. good luck!
Like the colouring here - don't know whether thats beacause you bumped the saturation but whatever the case it works. The composition is perhaps a little too straightforward, but I quite like this nonetheless.
You've done well with the glimmering gold, but there are two things about this photo I think are wrong. 1) It could do with being rotated to make the verticals vertical. 2) The stonework looks too orangey - maybe you could selectively tweak the saturation so the gold stays as it is, but the stonework looks less saturated.
