 Many miniature buildings placed on tray in swimming pool so they are just touching water. Used night focus and flash shot at night. Usual PS (curves and levels) along with CS2 shadows and desatyrate and then photofilter for color.

Interesting effect. Just wish it was a bit sharper.

good use of black and reflection. I wonder if you couldn't have gotten some kind of night sky background to really bring it all together so it didn't look like just models.

I like the reflection of the city.

An interesting concept. Particularly intersting is that it consists of recognizable structs from different cities. Including the reflection is good.

Looks like a black dropcloth or electronic noise is visible in the black background. This should be corrected to be solid black or made twinfling green or something.

The general image quality is weak and that will affect it in voting.

Seeing some of these brought back memories from childhood and being in NYC. Perfect mix for this challenge too. Nice job!

Going through and commenting on all my 5 votes, as I find this type of photo usually receives the least amount.

Looks like pewter models of some sort.. and I like the effect, but the image itself is just a little too plain (and off-kilter), for me to score it any higher.

I would like to see the details on how this photo was taken. Were they models that you placed in water? They do seem a little soft.
