The Busy Wharf

I think the original image wasn't really worthy of the effort put in to make it special. The vignetting effect (why is the top not included in the effect?) feels unnatural, and the focus is lacking. The framing would be better if the pier remains started in the lower left, then tailed off diagonally toward the upper right.

Great and humorous take on the challenge. Lighting is too harsh, though. And I think the guy is watching Letterman...

Nice image, but there are some exposure issues with the shadows on the left.

Could be a great abstract but I think the blown out background detracts.
