 Memphis Pyramid. It's completely empty and unused, yet the city still owes billons on it... Morons.

The shot was kinda boring and accidently had ISO set too high, so I decided to play with some digital art. Inverted the image and then went nuts playing with curves... Some Hue/Sat, clarify, brightness/contrast/ and USM in the mix as well...

I saved the .pspimage file in case anyone on SC wants to see exactly what was done...

predicted score : 4.5

Oh well... It was fun...

I like the hot/cold color contrast, the simple composition, and the lines of the pyramid leading the eye into the image. Very nice.

I am not sure why you inverted the colours. I think it fits the challenge well but there is a lot of noise in the sky.
