Challenge: Free Study XVI (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Canon EOS-20D
Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Location: Downtown Los Angeles
Date: Dec 30, 2006
Aperture: F/10 @ 10mm
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/100
Galleries: Cityscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Dec 30, 2006

 Shot in an escalator downtown Los Angeles. I liked the converging lines leading up to the buildings. I wish the stairs were visible in this, but they were too dark in contrast to the rest of the shot. I would've liked to have shot this earlier in the morning where the sun isn't shining on the wall on the left, but didn't find this until later in the morning.

Post processing:
Converted from RAW.
Levels adjustment.
Used the distort tool just a little bit to even out the lines in the upper left compared to the upper right.
Added slight gradiant to the sky to bring it out more.
Some dodging and burning.
Saturation boosted a bit.
Little bit of NeatImage just on the center part of the escalator.
Some cloning here and there.
Resize, usm, border, save for web.

I like how the reflections add to the abstract feel of this.
