beautiful - like so many have said before me. very very graphic, stark and striking colour balance. i love the totally flat textureless sky - does just right for the composition (any brushing? please say "no"!). bye, fred.
Nope, no "brushing". I added my post processing steps to the photo description.

Bryan, CONGRATULATIONS on your first yellow ribbon! This is an amazing picture and I'm so happy it won a ribbon!!! It is so sharp, and the colors are so contrasting it looks 3-dimensional!
Great, stark, simple image. The E really looks trapped in that roofline. This is, I think, the image in the challenge that most screams "this is a photo of an accidental letter"!
congrats on your first ribbon, third is a good start...the ribbons can only get better..lol. It was a great shot, and one was of those pics that you would of know what the letter was without a title...well done
debbie
congrats on your first well deserved ribbon. I still think your self portrait should have scored higher ;) well done!
Thank you, Dana, and thanks for the comment left on my self portrait. I really didn't expect this photo to do so well. I went to the park and took a ton of nature shots, but wasn't impressed with any of them. Then I drove downtown to look for some "letters" around the capital and I took "bluE-grEEn" right after I stepped out of the car. And that was it, didn't even walk over to the capital.
Here's a photo of the building I took a year ago. The building is located right across the street from the state capital in Sacramento, CA.
And here's an outtake.
Didn't care for this at first, but the more I see it the better I like it. I like the color saturation and the contrast between building (?) and sky. Very clean and simple lines.
Amazing shot! This is definitely one of my favourites. Plain and simple, great quality and definition. Perfect in every aspect. Congratulations (obviously 10).
Easily the most flawless image in this challenge, and an extraordinarilu striking one. I appreciate the seeing that went into finding this, and the purity of the colors, lighting & composition.
