Daring Crop.
Red Saturation, contrast.

Taken at the old Heywood Building in Gardner MA, the Park Street Side behind the library. Not really "city" like most people think of it, but it was a heckofalot closer than Boston was and on a briskly cold day with kids in tow - I wasnt going farther than that. :)The sky is screaming for some cloning of sensor dirt and to have those clouds dodged and burned a little.... have to wait till after the challenge though and do an outtake.

I was the one who gave you the 10. I really liked this picture. It was very different from all of the other entries. It was very refreshing to come across this image during the challenge.
Hmm i'm not really sure if this meets the challenge description or not. Either way, you should try tilting the image CCW slightly to straighten up the horizon.
Nice artistic interpretation of this shot. I like the rich blue and red/brown in the shot. Well done. There appears to be a spot in the top-left corner of the sky (about 20-50 pixels in) - perhaps dust on your lens / sensor?
I've seen this technique many times before, only, it's usually with the tops of people's heads, rather than the tops of buildings. This shot doesn't work very well, especially in regard to the ("city-life") theme.
Title would work better if the smoke stack was at the very top, with only a tiny bit of sky showing. As is, I read "searching to find..." and think, "wait...it's 80% of the pic...what's to search for?"
