 I didn't have much success with shooting for this challenge. My biggest hinderance is all the show on the ground, that makes it difficult to really get low to the ground. But I do think this photo of the Orpheum's entrance/signage turned out ok. I'm betting this won't do super well during voting, I'm just hoping for an above 5 score on this.

Post Processing:
* Crop
* Increase Exposure, Recovery, and Brightness
* Highlights and shadows
* Topaz Adjust
* Increase Definition (especially on the sign and building)
* Decrease saturation with increased vibrancy
* S-curve
* Topaz Adjust again (This is the first time I have tried running an image through adjust twice, I really like the result I got, even though I'm certain some will not)
* Export to tiff
* Resize to 1600 px
* Sharpen Edges
* Resize to 800 px
* Save for Web

Not voting here, but for me, this manages to meet the theme and tell a story. Definitely one of my favorites!

You really capture this from a neat angle.
