I took a lot of challenge-specific photos this week, but it's Tuesday night already and I'm too tired to go through them now (as opposed to too lazy, which has been the case the rest of this week), so here's the first (and only) one I've processed so far =). I still like the image quite a lot though and am hoping for another ~5.8.

NICE shot! I think this sored below six becaus of the bright area to the right. Advanced editing might have been able to grab you an extra few tenths maybe? I might have cropped to the corner of the roof, but that's just me.
Really nice shot again! Unlucky for not breaking six with this one.
Thanks for all positive comments, I's especially surprised to receive 3 comments after the challenge had ended giving the image praise. While it scored less than 6 in the end (I thought it would, but it hovered above it for most of the voting so I was living in hope), I'm encouraging and really pleased that a number of people seemed to like the image so much!
I actually hand held this so I'm quite lucky there's no shake detectable since it was a 2 second exposure. I'd just gotten off the train when I took this and din't have a lot of time to set up, so after taking this one and one other as it was pulling away I decided to wait around for the next train to try for a few more shots where I was more prepared, but after 10 minutes of waiting I checked the board and found out I'd have to wait another 1.5 hours to see the next train, so with work in 7 hours I decided against it =).
