Challenge: Free Study XII (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 II
Location: Walt Disney World, Orlando, FL, USA
Date: Aug 17, 2006
Aperture: f/4.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/8
Galleries: Architecture
Date Uploaded: Aug 30, 2006

 Shot at Tomorrowland in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. This is a window on one of the buildings. I loved the color of the glass versus the gray of the wall.

Post processed in DPP: tweaked the white balance a little, slight bump in contrast and color saturation. Took into PS CS and rotated/croppped, cloned out a couple of small distracing elements in the glass, resized, sharpened with USM, and saved for web.

This was shot hand-held at 1/8 sec with a 35mm focal length. I braced up against a pillar, but I'm still pretty proud of the minimal camera shake evident in the shot, though there is a little.

I really like the framing within the circle. The contents of the circle don't grab me, though.

i love how clean and bright and modernistic the metal elements are on this. the deep blue is also visually appealing, though the level of grain conflicts with that of the surrounding element. it's a great abstract though; more so given tha i can't tell what it is. the centred composition is nice too. this really stands out from the other submissions, and i was drawn to it as soon as i noticed the thumb nail. quite striking - 8.
