 I took this on my way through an overhead pass in Bangkok, Thailand. I got looks from many pedestrians for being one of those wierd people who shoots ordinary things, but hey, I think it turned out alright.

I used the B&W guide from DPChallenge (Channel Mixer) to get the B&W just right. I also tried a sepia tint along with some other mixes but I scratched the idea(1- don't know if it's within Basic Editing 2- Didn't come out great).

I toyed with sharpening, then toyed with blur, and only sharpened a very small amount in the end(unsharp mask). Saved, then rotated for twenty minutes to find the best angle. Gave it a border of .2 or .3 inches.

Black and white is always fun. I like that I can't actually tell which way is down. For some reason it reminds me of M.C Escher
