Wow just stumbled across this forum although I have been a active member of DPS for a about a year now.
Anyways my wife and I are walking in a park near the Tower of The America's in San Antonio when I spotted the object posted. I don't do much PP ( I use Picasa) but I truley had a vision when I pictured this.
I did a sephia conversion, sharpened ( crappy kit lens), cropped and added a glow effect.
Of the 300 pictures I took over a four day weekend this is one of my favorites. Any critique or comments welcomed.

I like it! Especially your sense for detail - to get rid of the background stuff on the left and the right.... I like best that you managed to get the structure of the cement block to the left, without having the whole picture being too light. Heide

The crop made the picture even better. The color is also perfect.
