 After a dreary week i finally got sun and clouds and this is what I came up with.

I corrected perspective, adjusted color, reduced noise, added the text and border, re-sized saved for web and sharpened.

I got alot of negative comments about the style of the text, but I got the effect that I was looking for in that I wanted big gaudy text to match the pavillion in the park. Oh well...more conservative next time.

Great sky for this! Very nicely composed and the lettering works well with the image.

Great shot of spectacular architecture. But the title and boarders overwhelm it - please scale the title back, at least.

Good eye catching shot, text style doesn't quite work.

A touch busy, but after a minute or so I like the frenetic fish eye type feel. I applaud the saturated red and blues.

Beautiful sky, but this feels too cluttered for my taste. Is this a fish-eye lens? Almost makes me dizzy. :)

The photo is very well composed but the font and angle seem too large

Fabulous photograph, not keen on the style and size of text.

shadows feel muddy to me - lightening these up in post would serve this photo well.

The text is just oppressive - the postcard becomes a chunk of text decorated with a city - in other words my eye is pulled so strongly to the text it dillutes the entire image.

Hope that's helpful.

Awesome sky! I'm not so sure about the chosen font, but this really looks like a postcard.

the text is a little over-powering. The image itself is very nice

This is new since I've been there. Wow. Fantastic looking place. Love it.

I'm ready to go! Great capture and excellent font choice.

This is a striking image. Wonderful sky to complement this artsy downtown scene. I even kind of like the "frosty" edged framing, it's certainly different. Good luck in the challenge.

Very cool - too busy maybe....but a darn great capture nonetheless

Great picture and love the frame. The text is lacking something though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool just cool all over lol

Very nice sky, and the architecture is awesome. I don't really like the warped text though. It kind of distracts.

Great post card material! Cool use of the font too.
