Taken atop the rims that run north of Billings. It makes for a nice high point to view the city from above. I knew all week that I wanted to get this photo for the challenge, but this week, we had a record number of days of rain fall. Figures that would happen the week of this challenge. This is the best I could do...no sunrises or sunsets to make for a prettier picture. :-(

...and I always just thought that Billings was a big trailer park! Just kidding. Nice shot, esecially how you show Billings to be in its environment fo mountians and big sky.
Not a bad try, but I had to mark it down a bit. The choice of angle is nicely postcardy, but no postcard would smudge its subject up with that much blur and fog. There's also really no main 'thing' to look at - no focal point. One of those tall buildings could have been the star, or the mountains, or the (very pretty!) clouds, but as it is, nothing is but the text, and that's just an odd choice to have made.
I feel I have to be brutally honest here and say that I really hate the text, although I do appreciate the attempt at originality. Also, it looks like you did some processing that made the trees really fuzzy and not natural-looking. I hope to visit Billings some day, but I'm afraid this postcard won't help draw me there.
Beautiful picture of Billings (been there ... ). I can't decide whether or not I like the words - the font/outline almost seems to be too "dominant", although, postcards often have that characteristic. Good work!
