I like this. It's a very nice shot except for the earrings and ?? in the lower left corner. If you had to have the earrings then they should of been something like jade, diamonds, pearls etc.
The bottle is very nice.

I love architectural photos and the sepia tones really played this one up. Good call! Usually I like B&W for the stark contrast but in this case the color added alot. I see movement in the clouds and I really like it. Makes me think of a man-made comet.

Thanks for voting and taking time to make comments!

The blown out sky was intentional. I had this shot as a color shot...then moved it to black and white because the sky detail wasnt good enough for color. Black and white mad eht photo look like a file photo fo a newspaper..pissem me off and I went for a hue shift to a more sepia.

As I did this the sky became more blown and detailed, the image went more silohuette and my eye stayed with the image longer. I lost the sign in the front of the Roanoke Star describing its history. That was something I needed for an article I am writing. I am adding that element back in photoshop for the shot in my article but., becasue we can't do that for the contest rules I left the sign blank ( which seemed to bother a couple folks but..thats life :-)
