interesting combination of smoothing and sharpening. First reaction was wow. Closer inspection revealed perhaps a bit too much around the path area. Still the leading lines, including the line of the open sky and stadium roof slant, is quite nice.
Crisp image with good leading lines. The rail leads the viewer directly into the city. I only wish the star effect of the small aperture was a little cleaner. Good Luck
the accessive neatimage/smoothing for nosie reduction really kills this image to me. as well as the fact that it is not very strong compositionaly the leading line in the image (the rail) takes you eye to the center where no subject is found....the subject have been split to one side or the other.
IMHO would be stronger if you had picked a side to shoot. and put the rail eigther accross at the bottom of the image...(in the case of the solider field as the subject) or the rail running down the right side looking over the raod toward the city.
in any event it is a passible shot for the challenge but it won't get more than a 5 from me due to the above mentioned reasons.
