Kind of frightening. Is it real?

Perfect subject for sepia. I like the close crop to get the point across but keep focus on details. Wood background is perfect too. Well done!

Pottymouth is incorrect. This photo is not photoshopped (except for color adjustment, which was allowed by the rules under which this photo was submitted). My picture is taken from a perspective about 150 degrees different than hers. I'm on a hill looking down across the city to the south. She is looking to the N - NE from sea level.

im not sure if anyone knows but this picture is photoshopped and you didnt say it was or not.
these are REAL raw pictures of seattle taken from across the water and as you can see the space needle is surrounded by smaller buildings and id pretty far away from that tall black building.

Lack of noise -- he has a Canon D60, the lowest noise camera that you can buy for $2000 (better than the Nikon D100 at low ISO's). It makes a huge difference -- The Canon D6t0 has been used to do ASTRO photography, that is, taking photos of stars. Normally if you take your digital camera, put a lens cap on the front, take a few shots with say 2 minute exposure, you will get BLUISH noise on the photo, D60 doesn't do that, it rocks :-) (and yes, I want one!)

I just browsed your outtakes and, humbled again I am. I am amazed at the quality of your outtakes. Did you do any futzing with them or are they straight from the camera? The first thing that stands out is the lack of noise in the sky. The second is the lack of radiated glowing of the lights that I have tried so hard to avoid. You did one with a pitch black sky and no light balls (you like my technical jargon?). Bravo.
