Saturday afternoon now and this image is sitting on a 7.1. Go figure. I had a couple of images that were ready to choose from for rural but they were both a bit flat. I ended up driving downtown Sunday evening to shoot some city shots in hopes for something better. I got there early enough to find my location and get setup so that I could shoot as the sun was setting and into the night. I wandered down to the South side of the Scioto river and started taking some hand held shots before it got dark. Once i figured out where I wanted to be I set up my tripod. When I went to place the camera on I realized that the mount wasnt on the camera. For some reason I had taken it off. So my night was over pretty much then as I wasnt going to have enough time to make it home and back before sunset. Took a couple more shots and went home. Opening up the card I was pretty pleased overall with what I had. I am very pleased with its scoring though somewhat surprised as I thought it was overall a bit boring compared to many of the other entries. Oh well - guess I have to live with another 7+ score. Woe is me. ;)
Edited this up in Lightroom before moving it over to PSE2. If you want specifics PM me as I have the recipe saved in Lightroom.

This is so funny!! I was in Columbus last July on a business trip (florist convention) and shot almost the exact same image - see my protfolio in "Places I've been". But I like the reflection of yours better than mine.
Tim!!! This is such an amazingly beautiful photo! Congratulations on an honorable mention. This is one of those challenges that turned out so many 7's. . .an honorable mention is phenomenal!
First, no bitching about a 7 and no ribbon. You have more 7's than 99% of the folks who try to do their best will ever see - most will never see one! And you have a ribbon or two - you could bitch if it was a 7 with no ribbons at all. :-) Second, how do you edit comments DURING the challenge??
