This is almost straight from the camera (no crop or rotate; white balance, some curves, contrast, usharp mask, resize, usharp mask, border, save for web).

I'm sorry for submitting a picture that is very similar to my recent entry in the
'Low Key' challenge:
.
However, since that (a) was already called "Symmetry", (b) did pretty well in that challenge, (c) I didn't really have time for finding something else to shoot, I went for the same scene again. Seeing my current score, I guess that was a good decision.

Gratulation zum roten Band!
Mir gefällt dieses Bild ausgesprochen gut. Ich freue mich, dass Du ein Band gewonnen hast!
Und ich hätte niemals gedacht, dass Lübeck so schöne Seiten hat.
Viele Grüße!
I must tell that i am not scoring well the pictures based on the reflection symmetry, because IMHO obtain a symmetry on a reflection is something simple, where everything is just ready to shoot.
BUT, i must also say that this picture just popped way over all the other of its class. The lighting is great, and the symmetry on the light rays just met perfectly the challenge. Congrats. This one will score well.
After looking through alot of entrants, this shot finally is the one that really caught my attention. Good focus, nice colors, great reflection. Take a bow. You get my 10.
