Shot of the east facade of the relatively re-opened Berkeley Main Library, a wonderful Art-Deco/Egyptian Revival structure. Those are cobras guarding the windows.

I could put in a blue sky with post-challenge editing, but it was shot into the sun and got washed out--I got it a little bit blue, but couldn't push it more without distorting the other colors too much. I think the top is as level as I can make it--it might curve from the lens or it might be an illusion.

For reference, here are a quickie mock-up I made, and an original of the real magazine I used for a model. The pBase gallery also has has a copy of the entry photo and another mockup cover woth the added type in UC Berkeley's Blue & Gold colors ... The Berkeley Main Library recently re-opened after undergoing a couple of years of major renovations.

I think a slight rotation clockwise woudl have done wonders.

Blue sky would've helped this pic a lot. I think it would've provided a bit more contrast with this building.
