Alan, I Don't feel so guilty now. Congrats on your high finish. . . but so glad EricV beat you out! It is hard to believe you guys had such high scores and did not ribbon.

Nice view of the city. I would have liked to see all of the bridges on the left and right of the shot.

Yup, these are the sort of alarmingly loud and artificial colors that I think are right for a postcard. The way the font is pathed to follow the river bank is very nice. On the downside the brightness of the parking structure in the lower right is distracting, but such is the joy of basic editing. Top ten

The father of Pittsburgh? Is there an alternative version to send to your ma? Great shot - neat touch with the wavy text on the river.

Excellent night shot, beautiful blue cloud. Fonts are little bigger IMO. Still one of my top score, good luck.

Nicely done. Too bad you couldn't get it a little later in the evening for more night/light contrast.

I would buy it. Very colorful and I like the writing to. It fits very nice in the composition. 9

A very nice generic stock shot with a couple of issues. The tower halo on the left hand side attracted me immediately which is not what you intended. From a framing standpoint, think it would have worked better with the empty sky on the right cropped out - a little tighter composition, a little less exposure and just a tad more focus would have made this a great image. I like the font. Overall a good effort.

the road and building in the bottom right are distracting to me although i understand that by cropping them out youd compromise the reflection as well

Really looks like one you'd see at a tourist shop. I like the font.
