No, this is not the thread of "Microsoft Operating systems That Never Were" ...
Here are the rest of the pics I was considering entering into the challenge. Unlike the one I put in, the rest of these were "straight" pics , ie. not photoshopped at all.
The only reason I did do such a photoshopped pic was because we've never had a free-editing challenge, we never may again, and I thought hey why not go for broke! But that doesn't represent my attitude towards all photo making.
Really like "Would You?" and also "Building Within," the former for the theme (and a style suiting it -- but did you try B+W?), the latter for finding such cool geometry and great exposure etc...
thanks justine. i dont know the story 'behind' it, but what that is is a boarded up window on the side of this odd little knickknack store i can see out the building where i work in downtown Washington, DC, by the convention center.
I'll try and get you a picture of the whole building. :)
"Rosettes and Star" has a beautiful composition and would probably have fared well as entry with a tiny amount of 'untilting' :) ..
did u tweak the colors on the second 'Church Window'?
You bet! Here's a screenshot showing how I converted the colors between the two versions.
And you're right, "Rosettes..." is a little crooked! At first I thought you meant "Untitling" it and wondered what would have been better...(besides new glasses apparently!). I really did almost submit it, too!
