A subject I've shot before (but not for any challenges) I noticed this shadow one day as it formed from elements not bearing the cross shape. There are actually several of these overhead light platforms along the top of a new theater megaplex nearby, about 25' up what is essentially just a concrete wall. They're almost surreal as they take shape under the early afternoon sun ... and I'm not religious. ;-)
RAW conversion in ACR: Addeded contrast; boosted Blue luminance and saturation; slight vignetting
Post in PS CS3: Cloned out some very minor tree branch creep near the bottom of the frame; further boosted contrast; bumped up the Blacks in Black, Blue and Neutral to bring out the texture and richen colors overal; final Saturation boost (10%, master); Smart Sharpen; resize ... add border ... save for web.

really like the graphic quality of this one, great colours, I'm not sold on the moon though, may have been a bit simpler without the distraction. Nevertheless still very good 7
love the random colors and lighting, everything is so bright and clear...oh and look up in the corner...no, wait it's the moon!! I do like the cross shadow also; very nice photo.
I love this image. It is full of shapes and the simplicity is amazing. The colors pop and definately attract the eye. And i like the fact that there is a little bit of bright blue sky at the top of the image. Nice job.
