[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the photo of KGB HQs processed to look like if it was shot on the day the building was opened.

I had to remove the color, do some color burning, add sepia, play with usual tools like contrast etc. and smooth the road. Also I had to remove some aircons and a car.

Hi Bogdan,

I like this image very much. I saw the original you posted as ws and I agree with you some changes were welcome ;)
I know this building as well and I know it has great architectural carachteristics as well as historical values.
Hence, I like the choice of old-photo atmosphere. I just think that maybe you chould had left the image in B&W and increased a bit the contrasts. As the shot is from far away, the small architecture details are too small to be visible, so I would suggest to make the construction as big as possible. You would achieve that by cropping tight on the sky (it's not the best sky ever anyway) and on the right side, then increase the size of the image,. Your file is a good quality one, so small zoom would not compromise the quality of the image.

Anyway, this is a nice shot and you did very well.

Take care, Stefania :))
