The Image: My beautiful City...tripod, dusk, long exposure.
The Edit: Black and white with blue tint, levels, USM, Smart Sharpen. Cloned out a sensor dust spot.
The Prediction: Not sure, some will say it's wide-angle-skewed, some will not like the border, some will recognise it as mine and mark me down because I have won ribbons aplenty :) I reckon 6.5789
Post: Thanks for the votes everyone...it exceeded my expectation. I think I might be moving out of my BLUE phase now...Enzo

so sharp, so clear, so beautiful, so BLUE .. !!
brilliant shot enzo .. you are the master craftsman when it comes to photography .. your images are always dramatic and stunning .. :)
I'm guessing this is hotpasta. The image itself is beautiful. The composition, the lighting and the contrast are all very well done. I'd like to see an alternate version using a warmer colour as a duotone. To me the cool blue suggests night time.
