    To oz...

    Made me think of the wizard of oz. The whole yellow brick road thing. The shadow is from a building spire. Your thoughts?

    Neat capture! Great colors and textures here. My only beef is that I feel the letters fall maybe 10% too close to the top of the frame. This is obviously cropped, but how is the original oriented? Also, I'd maybe go back at another time of day and see if you can get this same image without those shadows on the words.
    Nice work!

    The original is in landscape, but there's some distracting objects in it. Thanks for your thoughts.

    P.S. This is my first time shooting raw, so if anyone has anything on that, I'd be more than happy to know.

    Pretty neat. Looks toylike alright, so it does remind me of oz. I like the sharpness but think that its somewhat distorted. Not sure if you used a wide angle on it (probably), but it seems that most lenses have distortion anyways, regardless of focal length.

    Nice eye in getting this
