[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 233835, member: 9240"] Thanks, Don. I've been passing this place for ages, and I've always wanted to shoot it but it's very close to the street and there are these power lines running right in front of it, so it took having a lens like this to do it justice. The brain does something with light and colors that can be very difficult to capture, and I believe the photographer has to decide just where to go with the processing to bring out what was seen when the camera was pointed at the subject. This stood out as very vivid in my mind at the time, and comes out a little flat out of camera, so given the brightness of the day I took a little liberty in popping the colors against the magnificant (almost) winter sky we had. I'm not a huge fan of blur vignetting, but given the centrality of the subject here I like how it draws the eye more than darkened vignetting alone. My other option was to crop in at the sides, and I likely would have had I not tried this first. [/QUOTE]
