Last minute shot substitution ... got my fingers crossed. I've never taken and edited so many different shots for a challenge, or had such a difficult time figuring out which to enter.

Post-challenge: thanks for the nice comments and votes. I'm pleased with how this came out, especially for a last minute entry. I had one version with the center column in color too, but didn't use it because it was more noticeable in color that the highlights on the left side of the column are blown out. ;>P

Very nicely captured shot. I love the colors in it. IMO it would have been nice to have the people all in on the right, for a slight better composition. You put a lot of work into this shot and it paid off. Nice work.
