Yeah thats a good one. I just wish that people would fix the haziness of photos. I take that into Photoshop, do an auto levels, bump up the vibrancy, and it ends up looking 10x better.

Great pic, but the eastern and western part of the downtown core is missing.

I gave it a quick once-over in Lightroom. Really just levels and white balance, plus a few other little things. There's only so much you can do with a jpeg. Now, comes the tricky business of properly attributing this to the original photographer.
