The moment I first saw this image it jumped off the page to me with its fantastic artwork and vibrant coloring. This is a rare instance where all the varied colors seem to compliment each other perfectly, such as the light blue sky with pale green clouds working with the shades of blue and green on various features of the building. Also, I like the way the woman looking on stands out with the shades of red on her dress and hat, bringing some of the focus to her despite how attention-grabbing that building with the wild architecture is.

Much of the Originality score here comes from that building (or is it a group of connected buildings). In fact, it's difficult to even say what inspired the style, which has a dreamlike quality, while still managing to retain some sense of believability.

As for the Story score, I can't go quite as high, although there is some sense of atmosphere from the woman looking on at this unique environment. But it's a somewhat vague image that despite looking beautiful doesn't tells us that much about the actual plot. Still, it is clearly an eye-catching and intriguing image that makes me curious to learn more about the world of Metropolys.
