THE IMAGE: Once the challenge was announced I knew exactly where I would be at the crack of dawn. I took some of my favourite images of the year and had a hard time choosing which one. This one stood out.
THE EDIT: Levels, USM and a little dodge and burn. I also changed the colour balance a little. I know I will get picked on for the saturation, but I love the violets and the orange in the sky reflected off the city lights.
PREDICTION: I think maybe a high 6. I hope voters will be kind to me this time...if not at least just over 6
POST CHALLENGE: Had high hopes for this so it fell below my expectations. I LOVE this image
