Simply beautiful. I like the foreground detail and the color. Also, great use of leading lines to lead the viewers eyes right to the sunset.

Definitely my favourite from the challenge. The blue sky as a background really helps the other colours and textures stand out.

This is a lovely shot. Just has a nice peacefulness about it without being boring.

Thanx for the kind words. Check my "yellow" and "refractions" when they finish to see I'm most assuredly NOT always near the top :-)

As for the low votes, I don't see enough of them on this shot to bother me. Some people just don't like hyper-processing, which this most asuredly is. The colors have been goosed and manipulated to suit my vision of what the scene looked like, and they are what I call "hyper-real"; ditto the aggressive sharpening. It's not to everyone's taste.

Gothic glow? If so, well applied, back to bump this up.

I don't see a lot of sizzle with this shot. Nice try with background
