Challenge: Architecture III (Advanced Editing IV)
Collection: Atlanta
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Tamron SP AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di for Canon
Location: Atlanta, GA
Date: May 24, 2006
Aperture: f/8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/400

Date Uploaded: May 25, 2006

 Georgia-Pacific building, downtown Atlanta

levels, saturation (little boost to red, magenta; little desat to blue, cyan), contrast, curves, color balance (less blue - that sky was reflecting on the building big time), burn the top of the sky a bit, resize, USM, SFW

almost went with a black & white version, but DPC voters tend to like the vibrant colors more
I still think it's missing some oomph, but I can't figure out where.

I think this photo deserved a better placing. Maybe it did need a bit more contrast/wb tweaking, but it still holds tremendous impact. Well done.

Sorry for the earlier babble of a comment, voted and the cat had decided to join in the typing.

Love the geometric shapes and the lines just draw you up and up. Just think you over did the saturation the red cast knocks it back a bit for me.

Fabulous angles, nice full frame. Wish the color was bumped up or maybe B&W with post-processing contrast added. Still fun to look at.
