Taken around 7:30 pm, with the sunset at my back, with a tripod at the edge of the reflecting pool. This was one of the last shots; the wind picked up out of the south and ruined the reflections utterly. The nerve!
Bumped shadows and highlights (wow do I love Photoshop CS); cloned out a construction crane using the healing brush; fixed a slight vignette from my lens at the upper corners of the sky.

This is a nice shot. I like the reflection. It's a bit contrasty. This shot is horizontally centered but the challenge specified dead center, which in this shot would be somewhere around the strip of lawn---not the main visual element. I gave this a five.
