Thanks guys, and a big thanks to Serhan for hosting.
Long exposure photography/images is a peculiar sort of interest for me personally...I mostly feel a bit 'meh' about it all and yet sometimes I think it's the coolest thing ever, but I guess that goes for all forms or genres of photography. Either way, it's a skill and takes a lot of work, both when making the shot and perhaps even more so when processing afterwards because those shot can often get tricky to work with.
Congrats Joe. That was my favorite image of the bunch too, although I wasn't sure how it would do because the long exposure is a bit less integral to it than some of the others. But it's a really brilliant image regardless!

Ray...I interpreted your comment in the way I believe you intended it, and I'm glad you thought it would have been just as strong an image without the movement in the clouds. I never carry all that gear so it wasn't by mistake that I had a tripod, a remote and an IR filter on that day, this shot was planned, but the funny thing is, it was only because I didn't quite get the fluffy whisps of white cloud that I was hopeful for to contrast against the bold and sharp lines of the building did I decide to stack the IR filter with a heavy duty ND filter and make it a long exposure, but as I said in my comment when I posted this image, I'm too terribly lazy to make THAT much of an effort for this to a be a thing, for me. I haven't taken out a tripod (let alone all the other stuff) since!
Ok, so I guess the privilege has now been bestowed upon me to come up with a theme for 12th Salon Challenge. I need some thinking music guys....stay tuned.
Again, a big thanks to all involved.
