Default Abandoned Building Looking Out!

Photobucket
This is a shot from a building that some friends and I snuck into. I was always fascinated with this building and always wanted to go inside...and one day I had my chance as someone has left the back door open! I took this shot from inside looking out at the other side of the building. I used my usual bag of tricks on it. Saturated the colors a bit and adjusted the levels so there were darker blacks. The end result conveys the feeling of being in a big dark building more than the original which is what I wanted!
P.S. This building was completely restored and is now housing for young professionals and the elderly I think!!

You added some interesting effects. Very well done. You took an ordinary photo and made it a piece of art.

I've been to Joplin a few times, but I honestly can't think of where this building would be. I'm only there about 2 times a year.
