Tuesday was voting day. It was also my birthday. So, for the first time ever I got to vote on my birthday in the snow! The voting place was the First Baptist Church of Paradise. Ironically, I grew up in the FBC, though not this one.

pp:Opened twice in Raw; once for sky, once for foreground, Hue/Sat for a warmer tone, Overlay dodge and burn to mess with trees and sky and to brighten snow, color balance to bring out blues in sky, levels, resize, noise reduction and usm, border, save for web

Happy belated birthday!

The church with all that snow looks kind of dreary, and yet the sun on the right look so cheerful. The go well together.

I am always scared to take pictures of buildings thinking they will look bland but, yours is nothing of the sort. The composition is wonderful, the building draws me in and through the image. The color in the sky and on the pavement adds a nice golden glow to the picture. Fantastic capture and pp. Happy belated birthday too!

Congratulations on your birthday and birthday voting. I like the yellow light on the horizon.

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great time today - aside from the voting.

The light in this photo is very pretty - soft and luminous. Well captured.
