Casablanca. I reworked an old Fuji taken, 2 mp image and added a texture. This is my contest entry. The pavement is wet from a rare, hard rainfall the evening before.

Pretty classy stuff, very impressive shot... that wet surface looks deep and those clouds are shouting at Noah.

I would declare you the winner, but that would be the kiss of death.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Stunning, COG. The texture works well and the reflection is as good as it gets.
A winner for sure.

I used a old Fujifilm J10 for my Guatemala and El Salvador pics (though I have to admit it was 8.2 mp) and its amazing the quality of images captured with its sensor. Very good light meter as well. Awesome capture! I'm a softy for reflections.
