This is the ceiling of an entry way to one of the shopping centers in Wellington. I came across this entry by accident. Meaning I did not have the challenge in mind when I snapped it. I took it because it had a Star Wars feel to it. After I decided to enter it into the challenge, I didn't really like the results because the shot was off center, So today I hopped on a bus and headed back downtown and shot it again, making sure I framed it properly this time. Was a bonus that the sky was a bit more blue today compared to the overcast in the shot I took yesterday. I will probably not score my first ribbon with it, But I think it looks pretty cool ribbon or not. A 6.0 or higher would keep me happy.

PP: Cropped, Adjustment Layers for Contrast and Hues, Highlights and Shadows, Sharpened, Resized, Added Border and Saved for Web.

Thanks for the votes, Would have liked some critique from the voters who gave me the 2 and the 3's Not enough lines for you? Oh Well! You got trumped by the majority so I am not too upset. I came close to my goal score so I guess I can't ask for much more then that.

I was away whilst this challenge was in voting, so this is the first time I have seen this image. I have to say, I am astonished that it scored so low, as I feel it's a pretty strong image. I haven't looked at any of the others in this challenge, but I would really have expected it to be up there in the 6.3-6.5 range. Would have got a 7 or 8 from me! So, sorry doesn't help explain the 2s and 3s but...
