One sunset-lit skyscraper reflected in another shadowed one.

PP: Perspective correction, crop, max color saturation, border, sharpen. The color may be overdone, but once I tried it, the "natural" version seemed too pale.

After challenge note: this entry did better than I expected, and though at 5.672 I have photos with higher scores, this is my new personal best in terms of placement (31 out of 167 = 82% finish).

Crazy to think that placing 31/167 garnered you a 5.67 score, but whatever :) Awesome idea, great execution.

To me, this is cool, but it is lacking something. I think it's how matte the reflection seems. There's not much gleam to it. I miss that.

Very nice reflection from the other building. The colour and design are puzzling.

Good Shot

edit
I would liked it better if if it was more backlit, as it appears to stained glass. That would have intense the colors and gave a glowing effect.
If it is not stained glass tehn I'm PUZZLED by what it is, And that works too in this contest.
I gave it a six.
