The most original shot? Perhaps not... We'll see what the voters think. I think I'll lose a few points for it, but it was the best shot I had for the challenge.

Not sure why this got a 1 but congrats on winning the blue. It's always amazing to see a blue ribbon smacking the person that gave you a 1 right in the face.
A familiar scene and view point, and not sure whether sepia works for this. However, nice tones and contrast and probably one of the better ones in this challenge.
This looks like HDR which is illegal in basic. Aside from that (I'm voting as if it is a legal photo) this is an amazing catpure. Nice focus, clear, great detail....it's a 10.
Very nice tones. I hate to be picky on such a great photograph but i'm going to anyways - my only slight criticism is that you seem to have some blown out spots of light near st james cathedral and I dont like the reflection in the water all the way in the bottom left corner. But, great job.
