Beautiful sky and love the cathedral contrast against it. The angle seems a bit off (crooked to the right), but that might have been your intention. Good job.

Amazing - love the color and such a good job on keeping the white from getting blown out. This shot has everything going for it...sharp focus, great composition, sharp focus, and a lovely soft image. Nicely Done.

Amazing. Love the color and the single street light. So many times I see this shot with a line of street lights and the impact imo is much stronger the way you have captured it here -- well done -- --10--

Take Me There

For those who were confused by this image being submitted in the Ground Up challenge, Let me assure you that I was below him looking up. Two Reasons (that aren't my word) to support this:
I was laying back on the jetski which you can see in the bottom of his glasses - the red handlebar. The other is that if it was straight on (which I can see that being the assumption, based on the outcome of the shot) I would be smack dab in the middle of his sunglass lens.

anyhow..just wanted to address this because an overwhelming number of the comments I received was regarding how the image didn't fit the challenge. :)
