Crop, curves, levels, some color adjusting, smart sharpen. I did select out the potential hotspot at the top and made my adjustments around it. Thanks to Advanced Editing for this one.
Taken at The Westfield Downtown Center in San Francisco, with my little Powershot Canon S70. I get out the "big" Canon with a nice wideangle lens attached, in crowded places, and people stare and want to know what I'm doing. I get out the little P&S and people smile sweetly at 'grandma' and let me alone.
No tripod, but I did balance the P&S on railings when available and bracketed my shots.

Nice work, Alice! I know what you mean about the "big camera" - I need to get me a little one to play with. And in my lexicon, Nordstrom is indeed the ultimate shopping experience. Lovely shot - great perspective in more ways than one.
Wow, I like this view. The strings of lights pull our focus inward to the top of the structure and all the balconies reinforce that. Great perspective and very clear image too.
