Someone didn't read the challenge description. Nice letter though, maybe you should put down photography in favor of writing short stories? (not voting)

Sydney Harbour Bridge

Nothing really wrong with this shot; a bit too cool white balance for my taste.
You just need a wide angle lens (saw you purchased the 650; the 18-55 is slightly wider than this)

"...that PNG would not lose resolution in editing, particularly in rotation of image "
Nonsense.

As far as enhancement goes, depends on if you shot in RAW or JPG (but I guess the A610 doesn't do RAW?). In RAW you could virtually change anything, starting with a slightly warmer white balance maybe, over to less contrast and/or highlight recovery etc.
On the JPG you could add a warm filter (In PS CS2 somewhere under Image-> Adjustments ->)
I'd also crop off about the lower 1/4 to get rid of the centered waterline
