Through the Looking Glass

Very clever to use a magnifying device to create a macro scene, which could then be captured with a wide angle camera phone. Great job! Wish I had thought of this. You've overcome the inherent weakness of camera phones. 8

Double Arch

In general, this is a lighting situation that I would not expect to be possible to manage with a camera phone in Basic. So, great job! No detail lost in the shadows and a perfectly exposed sky. 8

Wonderful stone wall textures. Also, great textures in the cross and doors. The stone archway is very interesting. Your ability to retain details in the shadows is amazing. If I could change one thing, it would be to remove the very slight distraction of the lower middle flowers. (but, I wouldn't have taken the chance either in Basic) I hope this will be a ribbon contender. 9

This is a very fine downtown cityscape. I truly love the perspective choice here. And, the colors and exposure are magnificent. Should be a ribbon contender. 9

The Pearl of the Orient at Dusk

My favorite in this challenge. It's really a great cityscape/harborscape/seascape. The best part of the image is the sky and clouds. Your thin black border is very effective and I hate borders. I expect this will be the blue ribbon. 10
