 Well I was stuck...It was either this or something about 'Someone Left the Cake out in the Rain" with no cake or rain and I figured that may be toooooo dated. Saw this house on the way home from my voice lesson and thought the textures and colors were interesting enough to photo....the landscape version not as good as the portrait of the entire window. I think Homeland Security probably more controversial than conspiratorial but it did arise out of an alledged conspiracy.

Post: Perspective and distortion corrections. Barrel Roll distortion correction and additional distortion corrections. Layer adjustements for levels (25% opacity), brightness/contrast and hue/saturation (both 75%) opacacity. Resize. USM.

I further processed this with a gold tone to show the current risk level of the Homeland Security Advisory System and also with each of the risk level colors were used horizontally from bottom to top. Decided against them.

Fits the challenge and technically great, but it lacks interest for me. I'm not exactly sure why, it might be that the window takes up so much of the frame. Maybe try another version with subdued colors, or even B&W.

Not a conspiracy......that's self preservation! Nice shot!
