One of my personal favorites for shooting in Atlanta. It is a pretty benign building on the skyline, but really nice from this angle. Yup, you've seen it before in another challenge, but I thought it fit into this one nicely as well. Here are the steps.
NI, Crop, Levels adjustment layer (slid shadows in a bit), USM at 3 and 120%, Added border, resized, saved jpeg, Shadow/Highlight adjustment 5-15%, NI saved again, uploaded for your enjoyment and tons of troll votes.
Post Challenge: Well, no troll votes. I was expecting to get hammered on the school days part of the challenge, but it turned out well. Thanks for all the votes and comments. This was my highest placement yet. Oh so close, but still ribbon-free.

Great photo and fantastic finish. You dont have a ribbon yet?? but I do? are we in opposite world? you've seen me shoot. I'm a mess. lol ;) I was sure you've ribboned before. weird. well better luck next time or this time if a top three photog cheated. ;) j/k(kinda)
Great deail, color and clarity. If this is a crop of a larger version you might try rotating it counter clockwise a bit so that the point at the top left was flush against the side. I think that would make for a more solid feeling composition. Just a suggestion.
