This shot really suffers having to be so compressed and reduced in size. Or I am just not good at doing such things, because the detail in the full-size pic is ten times better.
Anyway, shot from the roof of the Penobscot Building (about 500 feet above ground) in downtown Detroit in ugly weather - smog, fog, ugly solid gray skies, etc. Hope to weasel myself back up there on a sunnier day for a nice sunset pic with the Ambassador Bridge in view, and other city shots when the visibility is better.
Shot with 17-40L at 17mm. Had to crop a good bit to increase interest/size of bldgs in view of the limited pic size permitted. Guestimating I will hit my average score on this one.

A bluish-silvery cast to picture is interesting. I would have cropped out the horizon to focus the viewer's eyes on the city specifically. It is very sharp.
Woah!!!! One of the neatest photographs I have ever seen. 10 I can't wait to see what post processing you did to this. Selective sponge and dodge? Absolutely stunning!
