 I took this at a small observatory near my house. It was mid afternoon and I liked the shadows better than the way it looked late the next evening so I chose this one. I adjusted the contrast a little, adjusted the levels a little as well. I also applied USM.

I like the grainy texture of the dome. It gives it real substance!

Nice simple study in shape and texture. I like the slightly contrasty look and grainy feel of the subject.

I love the gritty and weathered feeling of the image, it definitely adds an extra dimension.
