Many thanks, Shu, Olaf and Ian, for commenting. I *had* sharpened the image, Ian; but the problem is the challenge's size limit: the more you sharpen, the more you need to compress afterwards in order to keep the picture below the stipulated 150kb. Therefore, the quality gain may eventually result in a quality loss (size *does* matter, you see); anyway, I have sharpened now a little bit more aggressively, after reading your comment. I do not, on the other hand, want to "smooth the sky out", as the antennas, IMHO, are an important element of the photo; you are, Ian, not alone, though: someone else suggested before (in another challenge) I'd clone them out. Seems to be a matter of taste... — db.

I like this a lot! The colours and the different types of buildings are very nice.
I think I would smooth the sky out though, and maybe add a bit of sharpening to the buildings.
When you like something you always enjoy looking at it. I've seen this in another
challenge and it certainly fits perfectly in photoGRAPHIC! Very nice. Shu
