This image is a view of the Griffith Observatory and downtown LA from the Griffith Park hills. The image is a raw SOOC converted to a jpg, no editing. I've also included a 16-bit png for those that want a little more editing latitude. Hope you have fun with this image.
Feel free to download this image to your computer. Then you can edit it any way that you think is an improvement. Composites, black and white conversions, textures, sky swaps, inverted images, solarization, or whatever else you think will improve the photo are acceptable techniques for your edit. When you are finished, post your edit in this thread. Edits will be accepted until 9pm Eastern time on Thursday. No edits will be accepted after that time because we will begin voting then. Thank you for your efforts and your participation.

Went softly with the sharpness and clarity and a little sweep with the sharpness brush over prominent 'lines'. Lightened the foreground a little with the dodge brush.
Straightened against left most skyscraper and corrected perspective on the right most one, but that took the vehicle in the base centre out so cropped it. All in Affinity 2.
Here's my view - pretty much a straight edit. I really like the separation of the observatory from the cityscape in the background.

Cityscapes are perfect for a break from the usual. This is my view of the view.

Beautiful shot. I like everything about it except I would level it.

I posted something different in response to jaymatt's comment in the last MIYV. I do agree that a little variety is a welcome change.
I went for the "twilight" view. Download works best.

Treated the observatory as the main subject and tried to soften the city.
