I hope you removed that flag for proper retiring afterwards! Nice comp, little heavy on the HDR. Good luck.

Interesting, but just too much darn reading involved here - both with the paper and the title.

What the heck can you say besides "Ahhhhhhhhh!". :-) Cute factor (and terrific light to work with) wins!

You'd think they would have some signs up (Final Sale, etc...) if they were closing. Yes?

Cityscapes are rarely in the top tiers of scoring for me, but something about this one felt right. Maybe because it feels natural, not overly contrived with sparkling highlights (starbursts) everywhere. Not sure. But for whatever reason this shot ended up in my Top 5 selections for this challenge and I was surprised to see it didn't crack the Top 20. I thought you did a nice job with this. Congrats on a nice capture.

This was in my Top 4. Something about it just clicked for me. Sorry it didn't score higher for you, but a shot to be proud of nonetheless. Well done!
