I processed the same RAW file twice to get the sky and buildings.
The aim was to get a slightly grunge feel of night with some feeling of age.
Some will like this processing, and others will hate it.
I thought I would experiment, and am pleased with the look and feel

Like something out of a graphic novel - you feel this place is full of interesting stories and characters. The odd colors, the glowering sky the grungy air. I like how the line of the fence leads the eye into the frame.
Nice and moody, but the edges have a soft, uneven, blurred look to it that are pretty obviously from heavy post-processing. Just a small technical flaw though, as I like the picture itself
Using a new formula....
Meets the Challenge = 2
Technical Merit = 2
Holds Interest = 1
Creativity = 1
The "wow factor" = 0 (cropping off the lower fence portion would help)
Final score: 6
Great shot. Love the dramatic sky and the slightly creepy yellow colouring. Very strong image. Not much to criticize here other than the front fence which I find a little distracting.
