lovely image....especially striking is the exposure....the image is a little soft but not so much that it is a hindrance to my eye's enjoyment.....

do you mind sharing your post on this?....

I like the frame, and that it is a repeated motif throughout the image. I like that it is in black and white to really bring out the architectual elements. I like how I am drawn in and want to keep looking at all the little details.

What bugs me just a little, the light fixture at top center and the arch of the bottom center being 'cut off' I want to see the finished doorway. I feel like I am seeing only the top 2/3s of a picture. My mind is really searching for more.

Sandie: Yes I took this image a year ago I think that's why I never bothered to process it but I decided to go ahead and give it a shot. I would def like to reshoot this and keep the top of the light in the frame and bring more of the bottom in. I would have to combine porbably 2 or 3 images to do this but it would def be worth it.

This is also before I was more aware of what F-Stop I should be using so the building in the back falls out of the depth of feild. Unfortnatly it should be easy to go back and retake this photo but I do enjoy all the arches I hope showing more of the building won't make the arches less prevelant.

I decided to convert it to black and white because the colors where very soft and dull. I tried to saturate them but because the building in the back was so soft I didn't like it.

I used two black and white layer adjustments one for the building and one ofr hte arch surrounding it. Then masked it off.

This was a HDR tonemapped image as well. I really wish I stopped the lens down some and did a pano shot of this location. Luckly it's close by and won't be a problem redoing the image.
