From a hill above Renton, I could see the local airport, with planes doing touch and goes. Seattle is off in the distance, with Lake Washington in between.

I know this area well. I would have raised the Seattle horizon line quite a bit more and included more of down town Renton. Maybe a little more contrast as well.
The colors are really muted. Was it a hazy day? In my limited knowledge, there are filters that help correct for that for some cameras (of course I can't find them for mine). Playing with the saturation levels may help too.
To me the photo is a bit too busy. There are just too many small things to look at, which the title ("... etc.") is also an indicator. The misty (?) weather is ok, because it creates a nice distance of the city in the background. But I don't see much "Life" (or an intended abscence of it as in other photos) or anything interesting going on. Photo 4, Creativity 4, City Life 4 = 4
Nice view of Renton and Lake Washington. I do think however the photo would have benifited by one stop less exposure. It would have compensated for the haze and added a little color density. It does give the feeling of the area though. I can almost feel the traffic on I405:)
this is a nice city life shot but it looks a little hot on the exposure... the colors are washed out... I think a shot like this done early in the morning would be nice :) = 6 - jmsetzler
