THE IMAGE: Spent the afternoon and into the evening on the Rialto Observation deck. Shot this handheld,leaning on the bar outdoors. I love the sky. Went back the next night when the weather was a bit cloudier.
I tossed around weather to go colour as I really liked the colour image, but there is something great about black and white. I am happy with the result.
EDIT: Levels, Noise reduction, dodge and burn, grayscale, duotone...other minor contrast adjustments...basic stuff really
PREDICTION: I seem to have really lost my MOJO after going overseas. I have 8 ribbons this year, 11 overall, and the next one seems so far away. Hopefully this image will get me back into some respectability. Maybe 6.4???

You caught that sliver of light in just the right place - adds the extra something to this to make it that much more than just a good observation shot. Lovely conversion!
Gee, you are just so good, and I LOVE this b&w version of this wonderful image,
So dramatic and so detailed..... Totally awesome IMO.....
I can't wait until we get to Melbourne so I can go out shooting with you one day..... You are a true professional and a master of photography in my eyes and heart..... Well done dear friend.....
Hang in there Enzo. I had a 6 month stretch earlier this year without a ribbon. It seemed like I would NEVER ribbon again. I know exactly how you feel, but I know you got it in you. This shot, BTW, is just great!
Nice application of high contrast b/w. The tall building almost looks like it has ruler marks on it. This is one of those shots that could have really benefitted from larger entry size limits.
what a cool perspective, I wonder how color looks to see all the different colors of light in the city, I like how you can make som many details in the image.
