There was not much processing. Only crop, levels, a bit of saturation and sharpening. The effort was to climb the hill at night by myself on the last day before submission. Was a hot humid day
and I had to wait 10 min to cool down and not sweat so I can use the camera. The place I took the image was very narrow, on the top of one of the walls of an abandoned fortress on Devil's Peak in Hong Kong. The live preview came very handy. I took aprox 20 images and i considered this the best. I could have avoided the horizon at the half of the image and the vegetation on the left down corner but I did not have much room to move as the wall was about 40-50 cm wide.

Here are some other tries I took during the week:

I like teh title; I picture duck and fish and waste na dsummer and heat and stagnant no wind times, and a vast expanse of sea and waterlife. excellent shot.
One of the best in the challenge – excellent clarity throughout. I may have considered cropping the top a bit to shift the horizon line and loose the branches. Great entry which I’m sure will do very well!
The future of all cities? Great night shot. I'm going to contact you after the challenge, I have some questions about night photography and you may be able to help me. Faved
