Sunrise in the Emerald City,adjusted levels, saturation, smart sharpen, add text, dodge and burn here and there, Neat Image.
Post; Love the text or hate it, after seeing thousands of post card where I work at the Post office, this sort of text always caught my eye. As a photo you hang on the wall , not such a good idea, but as a post card, I'd buy it.

Congrats on a top 20, Frank! IMO the treatment of the text is fine, but the stencil font may not be the best choice. Still a great image and excellent finish!
Nice landscape catching the Space Needle, Seattle Center, Mt. Rainier, and color in sky. I think that the big "Seattle" overlay kills the shot, a more discrete script title in the upper right corner would be better.
Hard to make out the letters...my eye kept picking up the darker background shape which made no sense. Title finally filled me in. Nice concept, though. Nice lighting. 6
Beautiful shot of Seattle... the lighting is great, and I appreciate that the brightest of the lights aren't blown out. The text for this one is a bit distracting. I think if it were a bit smaller, it would fit completely into the sky instead of running over the buildings/mountains, and it would make it more readable.
Just like the poster! lol Love it. You did a fantastic job here. I don't miss the weather in the PNW on bit. I do miss the green. Great city, great people. Bad traffic. :)
Lovely photo. Though it might be nice to see the blue and red a little more desaturated because it draws my attention to that. The sky is also nice, I think it's much nicer than if there would have been large pillowy bright clouds, because that would have been a bit busy. The use of text is pretty cool, very "postcard."
