To maybe help others, my understanding of sensor dust is that dust on the sensor causes dark blobs. The dust, if you think about it, blocks light from the sensor. If it is a highlight, it is not sensor dust. |

I was impressed with this image. Would you mind posting the original so we can see what you ended up removing from the original so we can learn what to avoid in the future? If not I totally understand.
Kudos on the great image. Sorry it ended with a DQ. |

Great idea. This is the third 'bolt n screw' city I've seen in this challenge. Your skyline is best but I liked the silhouette version best as it draws attention away from the details of each fastener. |

I like the depth of your set up, it makes it look more realistic and stand out from the other metal cities. (I guess great minds think alike?) The colors of the sky and water look the most realistic so far. It looks like you really put some thought into this and constructed an actual city. Well done. |

Well I guess you just happened to have had last month's "Practical Photographer's" issue at hand for this one... kind of a 1:1 replica of the shot in the magazine, which takes away your credit for creativity on this one.. Nevertheless it is well executed but I would have prefered to see the complete reflections of the "skyscrapers" |
