[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture is so amazing to me because it was taken at NIGHT... yes at night, and that bright light between the two buildings is the moon. Not the sun.

I was just experimenting with taking pictures in very low light. I just set the camera up, set the shutter speed to 15 seconds, clicked the shutter and waited. The picture was amazing and I'm going to post the original as a workshop. I tried to make this one look eerie, and I think it came out pretty well.

PP Notes

-Cropped
-Increased the saturation
-Clone brushed out a few very small details
-added sepia-like monotone

Hi Aaron,
Nice! Looks real good. Like the dark sepia tone. This could've easily been a b&w, but, I like the brown tinge...it makes it richer. Reminds me of those horror pics where the trees come alive to rip you from the house. Glad that's not where I'm staying! ;P The tree on the left is a little bit of a distraction, but, I know you got it in so you could get the window, so, I think you handled the composition very well. You know, with the way the streetlight (I'm guessing it's not a flash) lit up that tree, it does look like it could be a day shot. Good work!

I agree with Richard... it seems a horror movie picture... just perfect!!!
Congratulations!!!
