Gee, what a change. You wouldn't think it was the same place, let alone the same photo. I love how the water has turned out, and that building has so much more impact.

Nice way to capture the kitty in the reflection. Again, I like your processing.

It's funny some of the looks they give you. Nice shot, I like the B&W.

it is a brilliant shot ..
you've totally changed the feel of your original with this very 'sharp' and gritty process ..
altho if you were going for a more juxtaposition feel maybe giving the grass a more 'natural' appearance so it contrasted with your more harsh building might achieve that better ??..
i totally love glamour glow in color efex .. it gives grass and stuff a beautiful soft but still natural feel, depending on your settings of course .. its the glow does it i reckon .. altho i havent got cs3 open at the moment to make sure its 'glow' i'm thinking of .. its the slider above the saturate one .. !!!

i'm not sure about your crop, but that's probably just me .. i'd be inclinded to take in a lot more of the scene than the crop you've chosen .. the encircling buildings, the construction going on and then this island of growth which looks soon to be deleted ..
the sky is ok, but you could bring in some more dramatic clouds .. i've been madly taking photographs of the sky when there's something good to shoot .. i must look like an idiot with my camera pointed up into the sky without any land in the shot .. but i'm getting a great folder of sky/cloud shots that i can use to beef up a sky thats in need of 'improvement' ..
something threatening would go excellently with this scene ... to intensify that feeling of insecurity .. where there's building going on the natural land is definitely threatened ..
there are so many ways you could go with your original .. its so not dismal at all .. !!!..:)

How fun! The pattern of the carpet contrasting with Sausage's tabby pattern and her upside down pose make this much more than your typical cat photo.

Is it me, or does that remind you of that song?? I can hear the guy singing, but can't remember the group. So nostalgic feeling. Love the grain.
