 The Image: I have been here before and have entered a similar photo, but, they are closing this observation deck on December 31, so it was a last opportunity for me. This one is different. The night was balmy and windy and the light was beautiful. I love the fisheye for this. I actually printed a B and W version on canvas for my wall, and gave another as a gift. Looks spectacular. My wife's office is in the picture as well.

I will see if eyewave (Oliver) picks this as me and tells me to be more original :) He is a great guy and seems to spot my stuff a mile off.

The Edit: Mainly levels, curves, colour adjustment layers, USM.

The Prediction: 6.2345

Another cool cityscape, and an excellent use of fisheye. The distortion really makes the picture here.

Now I can see some really fantastic potential for this image. It appears all of the elements are there. But for me, they are not pushed enough. The clarity could be increased as well as sharpness and colour saturation. However it is a very nice image and viewing it this second time I will offer a bit of a bump up.

Fantastic shot. My only problem is that the small white border is lost on the top, that makes for a small distraction for me.
