Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S602Z

Aperture: f/ 2.8
ISO: 160
Shutter: 1/160 sec.
Galleries: Abstract, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Feb 22, 2004

 Shot this late in the day, unfortunately that is the only time I can get out. The shot was hampered by under exposure so post processing was not pretty.
Adjustment Layers for Levels, Brightness Contrast, Hue and Saturation.
USM.....The colors were sort of blah so I tried ICorrectit Edit Lab and it helped a bit.
NeatImage....lots of noise from going from bright to dark.
More USM. Resized.
This is the The Sterling, an apartment building across the street from where I W**K. The windows are reflecting the Verzon building across the street.

I like the color contrast, but I think if the focus was sharper, it would be more effective.

Nice.. I would have liked idt better I think with the orginal and not post processing. Or how about in black in white. Angle of photo is outstanding!

nice photo.....I like the digital manipulation, but these type of photos usually don't score very highly....I'm in favor of challenging that idea! The abstract reflections in the windows almost look like strange distortd faces!

I'm a huge fan of filters. I have used Photoshop since version 4. Here for this site and this challenge I think your a little too heavy handed. The integrity of the photo is lost. I do realize these are the copper finished windows often seen in cities, but along with the blue and the light I don't think it works. Sorry, don't mean to sound harsh.

This is really sharp, I'm fond of abstract color.

This is very striking. I like that you took the photo on an angle. I also love the rich colours.

I like the illusion of things happening inside of each window..well done

The slight angle of this shot along with the golden reflections make this very interesting.
