When I took this shot it looked pretty good straight out of the camera. But then I had to "tamper with it".
The building in the background is the Nexen building in Calgary. The structure in the foreground is a funky set of stairs up to the plus 15. The Nexen building was also my subject for the Straighten II challenge except that shot was from the other side.
Exported it out of LR II and worked on it in PSP XI. Not a lot for editing but more than I was planning. Some distortion correction to straighten things. USM which seemed to darken the image and make it moodier. (radius 20, strength 50, clipping 1)
