Hey, I'll take you up on the sight-seeing offer if I get up that way. And I agree with the size thing.

interesting, but i have to almost squint and look twice to figure out where the photographer is. not quite as effective as it could have been.

A truly beautiful image. I find this challenge exhausting to vote on (I don't love having to pay such attention to either techniques or titles) but I hit my 20% so I wanted to come back to this one, which I find very peaceful & relaxing. Thank you!

Really beautiful. The pink sky looks a bit unnatural. Some fancy grad filter maybe? But I know that light can do amazing things. My pick for the yellow.8

Excellent. For me it's a portrait of loneliness. The man at the bar is seen in sharp relief to those around him socializing, having a good time. In fact, they frame him. The reflecting lines and print make it feel even busier and deepen that contrast. The electrifying colors and tight geometry are also very effective in telling the story. So much to see here. Great job.
