In Dresden at the moment, beautiful city. This is the Frauenkirche in the heart of the Altstadt

Great subject - I love buildings at night!

I tweaked it a bit to alter the perspective and the contrast - hope you don't mind - I'm trying out some of the tools in Lightroom.

Sorry don't like that one. It now looks rather squished. I like the reflection on the foreground. Sorry about that

Just to make it clear, a number of Dresden's buiuldings lean slightly, thanks to the bombs from 60 years ago. The camera was absolutely level, and teh 33-55 doesn't have a lot of distortion and I used the distortion control in CS5...

Here are my own adjustments after re processing in Silver efex pro 2 I've also cropped out a little of the sky above the cupola

This last is good, but 2nd is overdone...

2nd edit wasn't by me. Rob was trying to correct the perspective which rather squashed the building.

Your own 2nd edit is very nice however. Good job!
