 This is a spoof of the brown ribbon in the Transparency Challenge.

The image was incorrectly was titled "White House" because it actually depicts the Capitol building.

Of course, what I have is the Washington National Cathedral.

The editing steps were simple - straightened, sharpened, cropped, added some saturation. I also used the natural color picker tool to make the image purplish. Hopefully this is within the bounds of the advanced editing rules.

**Critique club**
while I dont understand the title(even after reading) I am just going to give you a few suggestions on the photos merits. I dont include the title in my voting process, so I wont include it here.

while this is a good photo of the cathedral the colors just arent appealing at all. I think the use of oranges and reds wouldve been better and wouldve given this photo more of a real sunset feel. while the purple is "pretty" it just doesnt go with the building at any time of day and it just too unreal for voters. I think the color you chose was actually the downfall of this photo. I think everything else is perfect except the color.

Color not to my liking, but you can't please everyone. I feel as if the building is collapsing in on itself...look at the foundation angles.

LOL - I recall that the original in this wasn't of the White House, either. So even though it's a shoehorn, it's a good one in this case.

Even thought the purple is pretty, I dont really like it very much. I think this could have looked great in a high contrast black and white.

I'm not so sure about the purple, but a neat interpretation of the original.

The colors make this not quite as good as the original in my opinion.

the original was technically much better (except for the too soft focus), it only failed because most people didn't see how it met the challenge. this here is just overprocessed and grainy
