A bit of a shoehorn for me. I shot some amazing long exposures and wanted to enter them in something. I was planning on entering them in the March free study but since that has not been announced I thought I better try and make it work for a current challenge.
This was a bit of a stretch but I think it should work.
Predicted score: This is a little tough because I think if it wasn't a shoehorn I could get around a 6.5, but since it is, I am going to go a little lower with a 6.2 and keep my fingers crossed.

Wow, just a few minutes till roll over and I am at a 6.99 roll over could take me down a notch or put me over to a 7, I really have my fingers crossed for my first 7. But either way, I am excited to be getting a new personal best.
Wow! Blue, I never expected it on this one! Thanks so much to everyone who gave me great editing advice on this shot, it wouldn't have done half as good without you.

If my seer were to draw the tower, I would feel exactly how this image makes me feel. Visually appealing? Sure. But anyone can do that. You've managed to capture an image that crosses over from the visual to the kinesthetic. If I printed tarot decks for a living, I'd ask if I could put this on the back of the tower card. Congratulations - it's perfect.
This looks familiar, though I'm not certain. Guessing this is from sjhuls. Looks good and works well. Wondering if the "not prominent enough" crowd might ding you for the tower being a relatively minor element. I've gotten nailed by "not prominent enough" a few times myself, as you could have guessed.
It is an interesting looking tower. What is it used for? Probably a good place to keep in mind to milk for future challenges.
