    Sea-Tac

    Blue filter was added in the shot, no photoshop done, except the border of course.

    Re: Sea-Tac

    Hey - Hmmm. It's OK, but lacking a real subject. I guess that's bad for me, cause I keep looking at it and wondering what it is I'm supposed to see It does have a strong mechanical, "this is what humans do" feel to it. I think if it was a little flatter that it would look very futuristic and contempuary - maybe you can edit in PS or another program and see if it works out.

    Re: Sea-Tac

    I agree with GB1, what is the theme or focus of this image? What was the blue filter for?

    I wanted to focus on the reflection of the truss behind it using the glass itself. The blue filter was added because being an "urban architecture" shot, I wanted to stray away from the warm incandescent tone. I wanted it to look "cold" and "urban", because I was still a little disappointed that I couldn't take a picture of a sunset, because in Seattle, what happens? It's gray and rains.

    I agree. I understand why you were inspired. I've felt the same way standing in the newer section of the Los Angeles Convention Center. There is something worth shooting but it takes time or the right moment to find it.

    When I see a shot with this many lines, I'd like it to lead me somewhere. Or have an object break the flow of the lines and stand out.

    Interesting tonal range though.

    Re: Sea-Tac

    I hope you don't mind, but here's a few tests to see if adding an effect is positive. I don't know - what do you think?

    Sorry about the size but I need to figure out how to link a larger image ...

    Re: Sea-Tac

    I'm fine with it.

    But I wish I had like a fisheye lens or something that could distort the lines, but wouldn't mess with the parallel scheme.
