Photographer’s Notes Been away from DPC for a bit and wanted to get my groove back. So I shot Seattle this morning looking for buildings in fog. No joy. But I liked this view of the Elliot Bay waterfront.
Oh, and damn the contrail from the jet passing overhead. I was unsuccessful at removing it convincingly.

Actually I sort of like the contrail. Signature Confuser processing :-) Congrats on TT. I like this a lot, even if it IS over the top (and that's Mr Over-the Top saying that!).
At last I have a signature style! Thanks for the kind words.

I'm not really a fan of HDR, but this is nicely done and invites the viewer to explore a tapestry of detail. The muted colors work well, creating an almost futuristic look. 9
Heavily processed, but I love it. Normally I hate contrails, but this one seems to add a lot to the composition of the image. I suspect this one will do well. Go Hawks! (not voting)
Looks vaguely familiar to me ;) A little more of a processed look than I typically go for, but this does make for an interesting take. You were lucky to get this much sun in Seattle- I tried! Good luck :)
