A repost of something old, having reprocessed it. Again, the processing was quite significant and I took shortcuts, so there are a few little artefacts. I used the shadows/highlights tool (which I always try hard to avoid), hence the vague halo around the rocks.

I wrote a long pretentious caption but my browser crashed 'cos I had too many tabs open :( It was something about the reflection of the lights being the only warmth and activity in a desolate scene, and that speeding-through-foreign-lands feeling. The picture didn't really work, but then pictures taken on trains never do. I liked it anyway, so tough.

Following Olduvai George's suggestion, I've been horizontal flipping images to check up on composition before posting them. This shot has been sat in "my stuff I haven't uploaded yet" folder for months as I couldn't decide whether it was good enough. Having flipped, it became obvious that it needed a chunk of boring space cut off from the right.

I spotted this in the archives and decided it had obvious potential for improvement. I think I got a bit carried away though.
- Layer mask symetrically graduated between the middle of the stadium and ~ 1/2 way into the sky.
-- In the sky, curves used to add contrast in the red and blue channels and bring down exposure
-- In the cityscape, curves used to bring up exposure slightly, and +5 shadows used to bring out details; also, 100% unsharp mask to bring out details of stadium seating
- Mirror image added, exposure reduced, especially in the highlights, with curves
-- blurred and ripple effect added
-- linear graduated layer added, to make bottom darker
