hmmm. thanks. Well, I used another shot of this in the gem challenge (you'll probably see it) - maybe that one would work better for you. Penny STreet

Penny, sorry I didn't get back to you in time, before the booth opened. Whatever edit you decided on here, it's still one of my favorites from this challenge. (*) I'd only mention the little bit of frame on the bottoms , sticking into from the edges of the shot, perhaps some slight transform could be used, instead of cropping? -Techo

Okay I reworked this a bit. Techo?? DaB?? Penny Street

Wow wow wow! I just love this. What an amazing combination of patterns and colors. Wonderful. Ann

thanks tv and Carole.

Wonderful patchwork of abstracts Penny - I love it! :-) CJ

Good work as cited already especially the fun of breaking up the scene into multiple abstracted views. Great color and details. -tv

Thanks you two. And you'd be surprised, Lydia. Penny Street

Way to go Penny. -Doug

It seems like you could just keep cranking out perfect City Abstract after perfect City Abstract if the hostess would allow it. ;) Another perfect City Abstract, Penny. ~Lydia

#3 & # 5 will be hard to beat - Debi

I don't think I touched saturation but there is a vibrance bar in CS4 that I used. Levels probably added color too. But since I'm getting comments on the processing, I will go back and see what changes I could make. I am aware that everybody's monitor is different, causing me to maybe see more contrast - to that end I try and compare my pictures with my pictures and I think this holds up. Thanks for the comments. Penny Street

Now this is good - the geometry of the square windows - the reflection - and the lights in both the building and the reflection. - the twelve individual abstracts. Nice one Penny YB

Patchwork in the window? Looks quite oversaturated. DaB

A wonderful find! It's eye candy I love. It needs just a touch of extra contrast, it might be my screen but a touch won't hurt ;) -Techo

Yes those beautiful rich colors looks really good here. Well seen and taken Penny. ~Brent

Ah the smattering of yellow, this reminds me of the Mattise middle period & the Penny in her awakened period. Very good picy with the flat lighting saturating the colours so well. Excellenti megirl.

Oh my. This is more than beautiful. Any chance you can go back to your XTi and the kit lens? You are becoming a major threat to our egos, Penny :)
