Comment by Tammer:
Tranquil indeed. The colors almost transcend this into a rich illustration rather than a photograph. Building edges look a bit oversharpened, but nicely done overall.

Slightly oversharpened (halo on the city profile) but apart from that a great shot. Love the warm feeling and the gradation of black to the 'bright' sky.

Comment by graphicfunk:
excepting the halo, this is a very strong image. With such colors it is best to avoid any sharpenning at all because no sharp defintion is required when an image is bathing is such lovely colors. Bumping up.

WOW thank you everyone for the after-comments Im so proud that people enjoyed this image as much as I do and that is so important to me..

Mr Graphicfunk - A gentleman, thank you sir
SandyP - You do great works bless you
sher9204 - A legend, Im very touched you like my work, I LOVE your work also, thank you

it was my first real play around with the D50 and that Sigma 105 MACRO I saw this shot as I was out with my little girl in the park, Im very happy with a top 20 because there was so many wonderful photos in the challenge and a top 4% for me is brilliant but I am far more happy to see that people enjoy the picture and add to favorite also.. thank you everyone who took the time and effort to comment.
