The Image: A rush job on the day of the deadline. Clouds were looming all over the city so I headed to my favourite location at Williamstown yet again and got this image.
The Edit: Duotone, Levels, Curves, Contrast adjustment. A little Smart Sharpen and Noise Reduction.
The Prediction: Looks like a big challenge, and apart from my yellow ribbon in the ABC Challenge, things haven't been great this week with scores in the 5's. Perhaps 6.2 would be nice.
Post Challenge: WOW! I never expected this! Thank you everyone.
I appreciate every ribbon I get...I seem to get a lot of yellow ones!
I didn't think this was a particularly good edit and was regretting entering it, but the voters were so kind. It's not my best image by a long shot, so I am humbled by the award.
I wish I could have entered this under ADVANCED EDITING. I think I would have done such a better job of bringing out the mood and atmosphere.
Thanks again everyone. Enzo.

The swirl of clouds is amazing. It's like something big is about to engulf the city. The color tone of the water is beautiful too. Congrats on the yellow!
Congrats on another stellar image (and the ribbon that goes along with it) Enzo! Interesting to see that you've changed your toning , and DPC still loves it! This perspective makes it look so surreal... there's so much to look at. Well done :O)
for all your whining about this image, Enzo, you did really well! and for what it's worth, this is perfect for the title and the challenge...very dramatic, with excellent POV
Wow! Excellent storm clouds - I love watching nature roll in like that. Good tonal values too. Personally, I'm not crazy about the border, but a really nice photo.
looks much like Enzo's work, but the procesing is not as good as usual. If it is you: how often do you think you will get through with this?
Seriously: good toning and composition; horizon looks slightly tilted to the right; a tad too dark in the water, some blown lights in the clouds, some distracting spots at left side. I'm afraid this won't make it to the top.
