 This is a picture of my absolute favorite place in San Antonio. Not because its a mall. I hate malls. I come here for lunch usually once or twice a week for the ambience and festive feel of the place. The Food Court is just inside the doors under the Rivercenter sign. I've taken many challenge photos from this area. There's always this South American band playing enchanting rain forest music. It's really a fun place to be.

Oh Sandy, this is such a great shot, the colours and clarity are fantastic. Should have scored much higher, IMO.

I'm surprised at the score too. This is a beautiful image and one that would be successful commercially. Excellent work and ignore the score. Geez, you almost put me in a festive mood. :)

A great Xmas shot like this one Sandy and at this time of year too.
It should have rated much higher.....
Just goes to show the disparity between "commenter votes" and the "browser" votes

Not only would this make a fabulous postcard, it would be great on a Christmas card. Definitely underrated.

Sandy this is has very seasonal feel to it. The funny thihg about this is, that I was going to say that it makes me want to go and have lunch, then I read your comments.

I am in shock, and so upset, as this so deserved a much better outcome than this.
I loved it Sandy, and what a great place to live.
I only wished I could visit, and see this site for myself.

I can't believe this score. Vastly under-appreciated shot Sandy.

Love the perspective in this one, and it also has the magical "wow" factor. Tops in my book.

Wow. This is beautiful. Love the reflection and the festive colors. How do you get a shot of a shopping mall when it's empty? Nice graphics too.

HDR? The colors kind of have that feel. I think this is very well done, and love the implementation of the font - it feels designed, a rarity in this challenge.

The image really does give the Chirstmas vibe! The colors are really nice. Though the image looks a bit dark and blue...could just be my screen though. Cuz all my images look yellow on everyone elses monitor.
