 This is the shot tower at Melbourne Central. Took about 135 images one nice morning when the sun was just right and the clouds were brooding.

EDIT: Grayscale, Duotone, Dodge and Burn, USM, not much else...some Noise Ninja to smoothe things out a bit

PREDICTION: 6.2XXX ... has to be better than a 6

POST: This did better than I expected, so I am happy. Overall I wa shoping for a top 10 after seeing the rest of the images in the challenge.

Here are some outtakes that might have done better:





OK...so the title was a big stretch, but you have to have fun sometimes...lighten up people!

No to your outtakes! You have the perfect angle and crop on this shot. Seeing your outtakes only makes me appreciate your photo more.

I smell ribbon. I'll give you a 10. You can have the Posthumous Yellow Ribbon, just because this shot is so spectacular.

This is an excellent shot. The lighting seems perfect. The shadows are dark, but still maintain detail, and the highlights dont appear blown out. What an accomplishment!
