 This would have probably been my entry for the Perspective Challenge had it not been basic editing.

Shot very early in the morning to avoid cars and people. Unfortunately I couldn't avoid lens flare which I didn't notice until I got home. It wasn't difficult to fix in post but next time I'll be sure to bring my lens hood and remove all filters.

Btw, the title is a play off of "Austin City Limits" which is a famous concert series/festival.

I figured this was yours - you make Austin look incredible. Your post processing is excellent as always, but what I really like about it is the dead-center perspective. Love it when breaking a "rule" works out so well!

This is a great shot Richard, I'm delighted you did so well. You're right, it's a pity that Free Study doesn't count in the WPL.

Nice shot but that streetlight in the upper right corner really bothers me, I have a hard time dragging my attention away from it but the rest of the shot is nice.

This is certainly one of the cooler city-scapes I've seen in a long time. The leading lines, the colors, the shapes...it's all good. Have fun this week and the best of luck to you.

Post editing - par excellence!!! The yellow stripe amidst the otherwise monochromatic theme is perfect. Yanko? arsenal? Love the light flares.
