One of the shots I took for the Purple Challenge... I liked this shot better than my entry and thought I'd save it for this months FS.

Lightroom Processing: Tweak the hell out of lightroom with this one... especially as I was playing with Lr2.0 trial... man that's some nice software. Basically, turned all the non blue colour off to get this hotpasta type duotone.

I don't really like the angle you took this from. And some of the lights seem to be a bit overexposed and blown out.

How can you not love this shot? Just simply superb post processing and use of duotones.

I'm going to say "Hot Pasta". Love the duotone processing, although the blues seem a bit too saturated on this one.

I'd say this is someone who likes hotpasta's style, it is similar. The blue tones do work well but the lights are a bit bright and they overpower the shot a bit

My home town...my only comment apart from saying this is good is that it probably needs a tad more contrast...maybe even a slightly shorter exposure...you might have shot this in P mode...set the exposure to Aperture mode, set it at around F16, then try a selection of shutter speeds as just looking at this, it looks like the P mode over compensated for the available light and washed out ... 7
