 I do not think that this will do very well against more traditionally "beautiful" shots. I wanted to try something a bit different and abstract.

Thanks to all the commenters! This image did properly represent the colours of the arches and pillars and did not use any significant selective desat. I used a bit of saturation to bring the colour out, and reduced some of the other tones to increase the contrast against the pillars. The pillars are found next to St Pauls in Paternoster Square.

Very interesting architecture, is this the natural colors of the arches? An unusual entry for the beauty challenge but a nice image overall. 5

Very interesting shot this, I like the opposing edges of light and dark and the way your eye is drawn into the composition - well done
