Thanks Cindy for hosting. I'll give my try.

You're welcome mariwalt.
Happy to keep the challenge moving.

We got a couple of great entries so far.

I guess I should have explained about the photo... it's obviously not the best composed, so hope it gives some challenge.
I had picked up a Rollei EFT 50mm off of Craigslist. Not the best copy but hey for $30 I bought it. I do love the color contrast it renders. And I'm an easy sell for old manual lenses.
So this shot results from experimenting with the lens...

So, I'll hush now and let the challenge play out.

Here's mine

Challenge is offically closed and judged.
Thanks to all who particapated.
The shot had a number of issues. Clarity, slightly oof, dark, trash recepticle and the slender tree with it's protective white bands. The background on the lhs and the wording on the building.
Before I said this was the Rollei EFT --- it's HFT and I said I liked the color contrast, i meant color saturation ... oh my, so many errors...
Anyway, everyone did a good job on clarity, sky, and exposure. I like Kerrowdown's crop, color mix and rearrangement of the lettering ... produced a bit of mystery and otherwordliness.
marilwalt and xs400 brought a sparkle with the enhanced exposure and crops.
But I'm declaring the winner to tuggie76 for the lively addition of patrons. Second goes to Kerrowdown for the deep mystery and color mix and HM to xs400 for his sky.
Again, thanks to all. Take it away tuggie76, and if he can't host ppc#424 the will you pick up show Kerrowdown?
