The editing was very simple, with mainly colour alterations - but I'll upload the original shortly and explain.

Thanks muchly for all the comments.

I'd love to see the original unedit one, so I could try to understand the editing steps.

A great shot, I love the colours. The post editing sounds quite complicated to me. Maybe you could post the original some time? I'd like to see it. Congratulations on your top 20 finish.

And you say you don't like Photoshop :D

Missed this in voting - but it's a cracker, superlative shot. Think maybe a tiny bit too unnatural (colrs) which is why it didn't hit the top 3.
Having said that, think it should have easily hit the top 10.

Nice work.

I love the colors. I wish the left side weren't so bright, but otherwise this is great.

Colors are appealing

Reflected architectural scenes are hard to resist, for photographers and their veiwers. I guess I'm saying that it's not awfully original. This is a good one, however, with a very good title as well. 6.

Outstanding

Great color and detail. If this isn't in the top 10 I will be very surprised. Half expect it to be in the top 3- but you never know. Haven't looked at everything yet, and voters are finicky. I'm giving this my first 10 in a while.

This is a neat picture for this challenge. (9)

Is the architecture the reflected building or the building that is doing the reflectiong?
should I give you double marks?
Either way. the colors are great.
Nice.
