No doubt, the image will be discredited for failing to conform to the challenge topic. Nevertheless, the image consists of seven shapes: the tower (black), five reflections and the sky. Seven colours make up the main subject: white, black, yellow, olive, brown and tan.

Granted, at 7 am the light was not quite right. At seven 7 pm I had dinner. Seven office workers called in sick.

Post-processing (Photoshop CS): Curves, Hue/Saturation, USM, resized and Saved for Web.

sorry I missed the "seven" before voting was over. I would have given higher. At least I see I'm not the only one to miss it.

Five sections of lit windows? I'm afraid I don't understand. :-(

hmmmm -- it took me a little while to find the 7 :) Good night shot.

I see 5 lit 'storeys' or windows or levels. Assuming i can count, this does not meet the challenge. If there are more storeys, I cannot see them on my monitor, so the pic is too dark. Christmas is coming, you give me a nice new monitor, and i'll give you a 10 - hows that sound? Like bribery i bet...

7? Seven? Se-ven? Nope - don't see it. :-( Pretty interesting shot though.

I have looked and looked and I can't find 7 of anything. actually, all I can really see is 5 sections of what looks like lights in windows? not really being able to tell exactly what I'm looking at, I guess I'm not getting it. it's an interesting shot, just not sure what it is, nor how it fits into the challenge. sorry ~Heather~

I like this one. The composition is good. The combination of light, shadow and reflection is beautiful. I also think the shot is well balanced. A tighter crop would ruin it.

I dont get how this fits in the theme
12/02/2004 10:14:39 AM
where's the seven?
12/02/2004 02:57:00 AM
Nice reflection, but I don't think it connects well to the challenge. There may be seven stories, but I can only see five.
12/01/2004 06:19:11 PM
I like the the way the light gracefully oozes out of the darkness.

Where is the 7 objects?
12/01/2004 05:36:11 AM
I dont see 7
12/01/2004 04:55:24 AM
two windows off, five on? sorry...looking for the 7 connection, otherwise kind of a cool pic.

a photograph which contains exactly seven of the main subject.

This photo's relevance to the challenge isn't clear to me, even after careful study. Was your intention to play off the title and intentionally leave two lights missing?
11/30/2004 07:58:05 PM
Pretty dark ... to dark to count 7 of anything and I just calibrated my monitor to be sure.
11/30/2004 07:50:37 PM
I see 5...
11/30/2004 07:43:42 PM
Can't really see the 7 here. I find the shot interesting, but seems too dark. Maybe I'm missing something.
11/30/2004 07:26:47 PM
i've completely missed the 7.
