 Taken of the old High School in Tracy, Ca. It has been a local landmark for many many years. Due to the contrast in lighting I had to select only the school which was underexposed and do level, contrast, and saturation adjustments to each part separately. Then I applied USM to the whole image file.

I like the partial building sky approach, but cropping across the windows is bothering me a bit. Great color and very nice building. 6.

It looks like the sky was gratioutously (sp?) thrown in to add some pizazz to the image.

I love these kinds of shots. Too bad the building is a bit underexposed but thats the problem with wanting to expose both (you did a mighty good job).
Colors are great 8

Great sky and really intersting architecture. I don't think the perspective/angle works - feels tilted. Maybe shoot more directly on?
