Challenge: From the Ground Up IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Olympus C-5050Z
Location: Chicago, IL
Date: Oct 17, 2007
Aperture: 8.0
ISO: 64
Shutter: 1/60
Galleries: Cityscape, Urban
Date Uploaded: Oct 18, 2007

 Found this interesting perspective while just "looking up" for a good shot for this challenge. Took several photos, but picked this one based upon proportions and sky. I used the on-board flash on this particular exposure to pull more detail from the mosaic tiles, as the place from which the photo was taken was quite shady.

Shot in Raw. Editing (as I recall) included adjustments of: white balance, shadows/highlights, saturation, bright/contrast, 90 degree rotation, crop, slight sharpening.

Hope you liked it.

It's an easy shot, but the composition is good. I like the reflection in the windows. Makes the one building look hollow.

Definitely from the ground up. I like the crop with the sky starting in the left corner. There is a symetry along that line and then you hit the other structure in the lower right. The sky breaks up almost like leaving a prism. What is that structure on the right anyway. It looks like aligator skin. Very surreal.

I really like how you composed this shot, and I think you got a great angle. I think its a lot of saturation, but I don't know if thats from you or because it was just a beautiful day. But a blue sky doesn't knock off any points. Great work. 8
