 I was lucky enough to get the window seat on my first ever flight from LAX. I think this represents LA because of the sheer size of the city, and the hazy pollution ;) I was heading east to Denver when this shot was taken.

Very little post processing; contrast, sharpening and resize. No cropping. A lot of the impact is lost after resizing to such a small size, the 6mp original looks much more detailed.

Not sure how to make this into an attractive or alluring image. Tough from the material I would think.
