 Taken on Highway One in Pyongtaek, Republic of Korea from a pedestrian bridge over the highway. The rows of apartment complexes are a sight often seen in Korea as land is at a premium. Large Korean corporations build these complexes all over Korea. Several years ago some of these buildings came tumbling down, a scary thought when you consider the amount of aprtments in each tower.

PP was pretty simple, ran thorugh neat image converted to BW with the BW layer, adjusted the levels, small shadow highlight control, ran through NI again, resized, sharpened, added the border and saved for web.

Here is the outtake taken a couple of days before hand

I like it. Even though it is centered this is one chance to break a rule.

Nice symmetry between the buildings, very urban shot... guess the trails of light should've been more visible on the right side, but overall great!

B&W doesn't really work for me where the lights are a focal point.

Okay well I couldn't give you a 1 because I knew it was your's but if I didn't I would have gave you a 7. This is really a good shot but I did like the color version better. Congrats on 26th.
