This was taken from the bridge on Yesler Way that goes over Interstate 5. Nothing special was done. Mostly some color adjustments using DPP, straightening the horizon, a little bit of cropping, a little bit of sharpening, and then saved for the web. I personally like this image so I hope this does well in this challenge.

Thanks everyone for the great comments and the top 5 finish, my best ever! I was lucky that my son went to bed early and the sun was setting as I hurried downtown to take this photo. It was a gorgeous evening in Seattle and I was lucky in my timing to catch the right moment. I forgot to bring my lens hood, so I had to stand by my lens to cover the flare from the street lights. This shot ends my first year participating in DPC and I couldn't have been happier with the result. Thanks again!

beautiful, I love your sky! I wish that your composition included more sky and more to the right (less of the left and bottom), maybe without any editing rules, you could lighten up the sky around that tallest skyscraper, very nice, 9
