 Thought I would try my hand at free study.Hopefully I don't get slaughtered:)The distortion might cost me.

My favourite building.Allan Gardens Conservatory. I shot this with film years ago and decided to go back and see what I could do with it now that I have digital equipment. A storm was brewing when I arrived on the spot. So I didn't have much time to work. I might have overprocessed but I like it. I also processed a Duotone version with way too much Neat Image and it has a more dreamy effect.(not sure how to post a photo here..I will post the second processed shot on my profile page after voting). I have also noticed that if you look at this photo with different gamma settings on your monitor it has very different moods. I personally prefer my gamma set at -50 for best effect.(Some might think that is too dark but not me.. I like!!)

This photo has such a magical look to it. The PP on it is great and the photo really stood out on the page I saw the thumbnail on. I love the colors in the sky and the overall lighting. Just beautiful!

The post procesing would normally be beyond my tolerance, but here, it's done so well, I really like it. Brilliant. It feels tipped slightly to the right, a pet peeve of mine.

Somehow, you took this beyond the static 'architecture' shot. Very, very well done.
