Too much post work? Too "out there"?

I took this shot looking up through a glass domed area in Pacific Centre Mall. It was a dull overcast day, and the colours were very monochromatic, so I thought I would try having some fun in post. What do you think?

I'm not sure if it would be the right term but it looks like a really excellent abstract shot. One that you wouldn't necessarily know what you were looking at.

In my world I will take that as a compliment! I like when things are ambiguous! Cheers!

Hi Katia,

Thanks for the compliment. I had fun processing this shot, and yes, I do live in the Vancouver area (Whiterock area).

This is a very pleasing abstract, I see you shifted the hue in the blues, that aqua color is pleasing to my eyes. You did a very good job.

Good observation. I masked the sky witht he brush tool, and used 2 gradients on the building: a reddish one on the top of the building, and a bluish one on the bottom of the building. I thought the blue gradient broke up the monotony of the reddish building. Thanks for the compliment!
