Taken in the run down pre-war industrial district of downtown Lynchburg, VA. I have no idea what this building used to be used for, but I do think that they are planning to renovate here.
I wanted to submit to this challenge, but at the end of the week, I didn't have any shots yet, so I drove around downtown shooting whatever was interesting. I passed this door with the car in front and said 'That's it'. Had it not been for this, I may have submitted a photo of a giant women's shoe (roughly 2 meters tall at the heel) that was in a vacant lot. It used to be a store sign, but it was still pretty surreal to see a giant shoe.
Post processing involved rotation, cropping, auto levels, a brightness/contrast tweak and then an equalization (not sure what this does, but I liked the effect).
This town o' mine is full of abandoned buildings, so this was a fun challenge to participate in.

I like this image mainly because of the unusual composition to show part of a vehicle giving a nice rich blue. The wall and what's behind the opening is rather interesting too.
