Take outside of the Seattle City Hall. Wish I had a 100% viewfinder, you can see just a bit of the lamp in the bottom left corner.
No sharpening applied. Pretty basic shot, though it looks "much" better in post in my opinion
Not expecting much, 5.2
Post Challenge Comments. I knew it wasn't a strong entry. Regarding the comments, I would have preferred to pull back on this one to get the whole tree, problem is the wall wasn't that big, this is pretty much the extent. Thinking back on it, it was a lost cause. Oh well:
Here is the processed version:
And some Outtakes, processed of course. I ended up choosing the one my wife liked:

I agree with everybody else, to bad about the size of the wall. With more wall and tree I think it would have scored better, I really like the contrasts.
Really nice shot. I think I would like it better with the sidewalk cropped off the bottom. Looking forward to seeing your shot for "Red II". It looks like you have plenty of good subjects.
Good for your wife. This is a terrific picture with a harmonious linear composition (or something like that). The fact that it nevertheless garnered a score under 6.5 is manifest evidence that you are among Philistines. Present company excepted. Had you been able to eretain the compositional theme (i.e. keep the unbroken wall background) while including the top of the tree and the rest of it to the right, then it might have improved the result. Maybe. Way underrated shot, anyway.
Jason, I have two thoughts on this. 1. This is a really neat abstract looking shot with the lines in it. A little saturation boost might have made this even more interesting. 2. This would also be really cool if the lines weren't there and it was just a solid red background. The composition is absolutely perfect.
Edit: Forget what I said about the saturation boost. I didn't realize till after that this was a minimal entry.
