taken at sundown using reflected light from a building as the backlighting... hope this doesn't bend people's ideas about suitability for the challenge. focal length 300mm. not an easy focal length for me to get sharp with this lens, :(. Prediction 5.7, I know that voters will be looking for something a bit more obvious.
typical processing, levels, curves, hue and sat, resized, sharpened using smart sharpening and saved for web

its hard to see how this meets the challenge well ... it is a stunning picture .. but I can not see the light source or even that the source is "back" from the picture. Stunning shot though.
