The Image: Took this early August and should have considered it for the landscape challenge, but I preferred to use Advanced Editing and the 720 pixels. Took this handheld leaning against the fence at the Observation Deck at the Rialto, 55 floors up over Melbourne. This is the Western side of the city.
I love the sunset colours.
Edit: USM, Levels, colour balance adjustment layer and masking, Noise Reduction and final dodge and burning.
Prediction: 6.4124
Post: Finished nicely...a little higher than I thought. I am happy with the image...this was a great FS group of images, some are super high quality, so well done everyone...Enzo

Wonderful stuff Enzo. Thought I recognised our city, and I had suspected this was you. It's a great shot, and makes me want to take your advice some time, and go up the Rialto.
I can't get over the crazy amount of detail in this pic. Awesome color in the sky and NOTHING looks over processed!!! Please post your setup and editing details if you haven't already. Truly a pic to be very proud of. I hope it does very well for you. A 10 and a Fav. Scott
I think the colors really make this shot, the contrast between the warm tones in the sky and the cool tones in the city, yet the way that the warm sky reflects off points in the city and mixes in. Very well done. 10
Excellent post apocalyptic look at a city scape. The city breathes in metal and roads and glass and then sprawls out to recede into the red horizon. There may be a bit of an exposure problem with the sun; and there may be not enough focal points in the sweet spot- the viewers eye gets spread out a bit too much. But all in all I still think its great.
