 Rotate, crop, levels, hue/saturation (specific to color chanels to preserve gold color of Denver Capitol dome, and stay within basic editing parameters), NI, SUSM, file size, save for web.

This is the view I have 40+ hours a week... If this were an advanced editing challenge, I would have liked to de-sat all but the Capitol dome, but since it was basic I did the best I could.

Post-Challenge:

Didn't do well, but finihed higher than I thought it was going to (was stuck at 4.2 the first half of the week). I thought it was a pretty good silhouette and made for an interesting entry- then I saw what most other people entered. Mine sticks ot like a sore thumb... very different than others. I'm okay with that. I even had a DQ request... entertaining stuff:)

Great depth. Not much in the way of silhouette.

An interesting shot, but not an interesting silhouette

You have captured an intimate space and shown it in its modern setting. Very nice photo. The silhouette is a very minor part of the photo. Your photo, as a whole, IMO, is excellent. As a photo of a silhouette content it is not so good. Rather than grade it way down, I am commenting but not voting.
