[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This was taken in a new section of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco. I was standing on an interior bridge overlooking an open area that gave views to the ground floor below. The ceiling (between the angled steel beams) is glass, allowing lots of natural light during the day. The shot seemed to be a bit bland, so I boosted several Camera Raw adjustments to extremes to create a different mood, just for fun, and decided to keep this version:)

PP: experimented with a a variety of extreme Camera RAW adjustments and combinations until I found this effect, corrected lens distortion of verticals, added border, converted and resized for TL, sharpened.

Hi Karen. Nice architectural shot. The composition and lighting are excellent and you exposed it well.

TFS,
David

VERY nice. Love the contrasting colours of the blues and yellows and the contrasting angles and shapes that go along with them, not to mention the contrast in diagonal and vertical lines. Can feel the tension between the 2 parts of the image. Great framing too.

Hi Karen - this is a very interesting abstract, a well compressed perspective and the colours go well together.
