No, I didn't manipulate the colours of this shot. :) Yes it is a touch soft, due to it being taken in Chengdu's ubiquitous winter mist. I lightened the shadows with the curves tool just a touch (So there is more detail there if you want to look.) but didn't want to destroy the strong contrasts between dark and light in the shot. This was directly across the road from my hotel, the Traffic Inn, which is smack in the central area of the city. All the same you can see there was a quality of stillness available from time to time. Pretty amazing for a city of over ten million. I loved it.

Enjoy.
