Taken for a dpchallenge.com weekly photo challenge: www.dpchallenge.com/challenge_results.php?CHALLENGE_ID=814

At first I thought this shot was a failure. I had used a GND filter on a Cokin filter holder. At 10mm the lens actually captures the holder it self and it also creates alot of vignetting. But after looking at it in my PC I realized that if I cropped out the filter holder the vignetting was helping this image by focusing the viewer towards the building and the reflection.

27th February 2008: Vuhuuu.... just won a DIGIFOTO Pro award for this image and a SanDisk Extreme III memory card:

This is the first time I win prices worth money for my digital photographs. They even published it in their photography magazine.

19th October 2008: Another Voooohoooo... made it to the final of World In Focus Contest. And guess what, I won one the meritan prices, the image got displayed in a New York gallery and it will be published in National Geographic Traveler Magazine!

    Yeah this is top banana so all credit for winning a prize with this one.. .. you are right how the vignette, once partially dealt with, really does make the image work better in a very subtle way ... crystal
