This week's Hot Pic: "Hong Kong at Night" by Paul Bild, Vancouver, British Columbia

Paul says: "I took this photo with a Canon Digital Rebel XS and a Tamron wide-angle 17-50mm lens while taking a cruise to Asia. While stopped in Hong Kong, I found myself on a pedestrian bridge between two buildings. I placed the camera on the side wall, and took the shot using the camera's self-timer. I corrected the white balance from the RAW image, and I used my photo editor's Perspective Correction tool to correct the wide-angle architectural distortion."

This week's runner-up: "Eagle" by Karl Rudlaff, Waterford, Michigan

Karl says that he shot this photo with a Nikon D200 while on a recent trip to Alaska. "We were on a small boat at the time, so I had to shoot hand-held."
