Sorry to hear of the dq :( I can totally understand the sensor dust issue. Don't be too bummed though Owain, onwards and upwards!

I was impressed with this image. Would you mind posting the original so we can see what you ended up removing from the original so we can learn what to avoid in the future? If not I totally understand.
Post actions
This is still an awesome image, The DQ does not take away your amazing work. Bravo!
Post actions

Great idea. This is the third 'bolt n screw' city I've seen in this challenge. Your skyline is best but I liked the silhouette version best as it draws attention away from the details of each fastener.

Excellent, very creative and well executed!
Post actions
Even though many had the same idea as you, yours is by far the best! :^)
Post actions
Well done, like the lighting.
Post actions
Very nice - but I would have liked it even better if the reflection wasn't cropped like that.
Post actions
Post actions
Nicely done. The background being different shades of blue help the silver stand out, and the reflections makes the picture more interesting.
Post actions
Outstanding idea and wonderfully executed. This truly meets the challenge in one of the fullest and best ways. 9 from me
Post actions
very nutty image ...but they'll probally screw you with their scores ;-)
Post actions
Best of the lot. My pick for the ribbon. Good luck.

A very clever Idea should do very well 8
Post actions
This is very blanaced and symetric but, it doesn't really make sense.
Post actions
awesome idea, well executed. 8
Post actions
Nicely laid out. Good clean and crisp image and the pale colour works well.
Post actions
This is a very interesting peace of landscape.very well done.
Post actions
A very good version of the stuff on carlwarner.com
Post actions
Awesome ... best in this challenge ...
Post actions
Nice composition and reflection. IMO, clearly the best of the "hardware" entries.
Post actions
Very creative! The blue "skyline" and reflection in the "water" work really well.
Post actions
wow! Looks like a lot of work! One of the best in challenge. Great composition, great reflections, nice lighting, etc
Post actions
The rerlection is sublime. Would like to see a "shoreline" to differentiate between the "land and river."
Post actions
You went to a lot of trouble to make this shot. I am impressed with you. Well done 10
Post actions
Super. Hope this ribbons.

This is very creative and well executed. The thumb definitely looked like a futuristic city. Hope you score very well with this.
Post actions
Very nicely done...but I sure wish the reflection was not cut off at the bottom.
Post actions
Wow, creative and original.
Post actions
well done effort - nice job to recreate a cool web image
Post actions
Fantastic idea, excellently composed.
Post actions
A few of these in the challenge. I really like the reflections, great job.
Post actions
excellent comp and lighting
Post actions
I like the depth of your set up, it makes it look more realistic and stand out from the other metal cities. (I guess great minds think alike?) The colors of the sky and water look the most realistic so far. It looks like you really put some thought into this and constructed an actual city. Well done.
Post actions
Well I guess you just happened to have had last month's "Practical Photographer's" issue at hand for this one... kind of a 1:1 replica of the shot in the magazine, which takes away your credit for creativity on this one.. Nevertheless it is well executed but I would have prefered to see the complete reflections of the "skyscrapers"
Post actions
Creative. Good lighting. Good composition and colors. One of the better images I've seen so far in this challenge. Good luck.
Post actions
This reminds me of robots, but it's very creative!
Post actions
Nice lighting, The best of the bunch in this challenge. 7
Post actions
OMG- it's like the challenge was "make a cityscape of nuts and bolts!" - I do like this and will not judge on the fact that 5 others have done the ssame thing :) Good clarity and composition pushes this slightly above the others: 7
Post actions
Wow you found more screws,nuts and bolts than carl warner!!!!!!! LOL
Post actions
Best execution of this idea that I've seen. Can't really fault it. Hope this does well!
Post actions
Post actions
not so very creative, looks quite like Carl Warners shot, while his crop, color and reflection are better. nevertheless good effort.
Post actions
Post actions
Oh dear! everyone seems to have entered this image like your reflections though. 6
Post actions
Great idea, high performance.
Post actions
awesome! 10. wonder how long it took you to build this...
Post actions
I see a ribbon. In fact, I see blue!
Post actions
Very cool idea, wish I would have thought about it.
Post actions
This is a really great idea. I wish you didn't cut off the reflection.
