I had originally planned to have myself in the photo, but I was busted by security. Apparently you can't use a tripod in the Historic Distillery Distric, but you can take hand-held photos... I had a setup with two tripods and some lights... buuut, the security guard wasn't very pleased with my setup, do i had to downgrade to just a hendheld shot... not bad though...

Now, From what I can see in the rules... in Basic editing, I am allowed to do pretty much anything in Camera Raw... that was all I did with this pic... de-saturated all the colours except pumped up the green to make the door stand out... all the brick is red, so it worked good. Then I rotated the pic, cropped, re-sized and downgraded the quality to get a good size in...

I submitted the pic to DPC via a ticket and they said that it was legal...

I love industrial settings. I'd like to see the contrast punched up some and the levels brought in so there is more solid black. The crop is too tight at the top and I'd go into the lens correction filter to try and straighten out some of the convergence going on. A bit soft as well.
