Challenge: Holy Places (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Olympus E-500 EVOLT
Lens: Olympus 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko Digital
Location: Jasra, Bahrain
Date: May 7, 2006
Aperture: f4.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/125

Date Uploaded: May 8, 2006

 Taken at sunset of Jasra Mosque, Bahrain. I have a ton of shots of this mosque, and had hoped to replicate one of the better ones for this challenge. Sadly, the only time I could get to photograph it was at sunset and we have ben suffering from dust and sandstorms for the past week so the sky failed to co-operate for the picture I really wanted.

Post processing - slight straightening and crop, levels, curves, selective colour - all minor adjustments. USM. Resize and stroke border.

Over-edited with the colours - it looks false and flat. Shame, as the idea and composition deserve better IMHO.
