Challenge: Clouds II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix X100S
Location: Dubai
Date: Mar 25, 2014
Aperture: 5.6
ISO: 3200
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Mar 24, 2014

 Visiting Dubai for a few days and our apartment is across the road from the Burj Khalifa. So got up pre-dawn and walked around until the rising sun would be behind just as it got light enough to tell it was going to be a cloudy grey dawn.

Thought I may as well shoot for the Clouds challenge so as not to waste the morning. The title is from the 1973 Don McLean song 'Castles in the Air'.

In LR rotated and cropped slightly then changed to BW with Color FX pro.

An ominous, futuristic image of an evil corporate entity bent on global domination, like, maybe, Ben & Jerry's.

Very well presented. Love the lines, tone, and clouds. I think B&W was the correct way to go. Great Job. (Bump while commenting)

Dubai?
Reminds me of the Octan Tower from the LEGO movie :-)
Where are the thunderbolts? :-)
