Photographer’s Notes The photo is of a classic (circa 1900) building in Seattle’s central district, just around the corner form Pioneer Square. I have a number of shots of it but this one brings out the fantastic detail of the architecture best, in my opinion.
I tried bracketing EV Comp and combining in an HDR version for the January Free Study, but in truth, I like the Basic Editing version much better.

great color and texture. I applaud your different approach in making this crooked, but feel like you went into the middle ground. I think you should have eather left it straight, or go pretty much COMPLETELY sideways with it. Still nice work
