 Not sure this will go over well but I like it sooo... Some of you may recognize the location - back to the abandoned hospital. Soon as I saw the topic I knew tht was where I was going to go.

To get the walls blue I changed it to tungsten lighting in RAW Converter. Had some fun with photoshop and wala! Not how you spell that? Oh, well. :) The pose there is a little icky and I had a couple others, but sometimes life makes me want to curl up in a little ball. And it often feels like I'm at a dead end...Thank god I got rid of that job!

Anyway, comments appreciated.

I tried to sit still longer but even 6 seconds on my heels was hard. Oh, and now my Sigma 17-35 won't focus at all. Hating life, need new lenses!!!

Wonderful shot. You can almost touch the textures. By the way, "wala! Not how you spell that?" in France they spell it "voilà".
Congrats.

Great Image. Love the composition and the angle you took. So glad you included the "No" over the door (by the exit) really adds to the overall feel of the shot. Great job

I like the colors but think the picture would be stronger with the model looking up. Nice location for a picture.

This really didn't need a title. The No Exit is pretty obvious. Nice treatment on the textures.

This image is too dark on my monitor. I like all the texture but the figure at the bottom is distracting.

I like the perspective of this shot (from a high point down), and the prcesing is top notch. Great job

Love the colors and the mood. It might have been better to crop it a little tighter. It didn't fit on my monitor, but that might be my monitor.
