After a dreary week i finally got sun and clouds and this is what I came up with.
I corrected perspective, adjusted color, reduced noise, added the text and border, re-sized saved for web and sharpened.
I got alot of negative comments about the style of the text, but I got the effect that I was looking for in that I wanted big gaudy text to match the pavillion in the park. Oh well...more conservative next time.

shadows feel muddy to me - lightening these up in post would serve this photo well.
The text is just oppressive - the postcard becomes a chunk of text decorated with a city - in other words my eye is pulled so strongly to the text it dillutes the entire image.
This is a striking image. Wonderful sky to complement this artsy downtown scene. I even kind of like the "frosty" edged framing, it's certainly different. Good luck in the challenge.
