Another old, abandoned building in Galveston. This one was interesting to me for the color combinations of the different greens and the red brick, along with the diagonal of the stairs and the way they end right at that strange pipe/vent sticking out of the plywood. The day I shot this was overcast so there are no strong shadows to give much depth to the shot. I added a texture layer in Multiply at 35% and in Soft Light at 21% and masked most of it off of the green plywood and the lower floor in between the columns.
I think it still needs some kind of an edge, it just looks too abrupt the way the columns are cut in half, or something...but I don't know what would help. I also had some strange bowing with the window sills not being level so tried to do some warping to push them back in a straight line but something still seems off. Maybe I am just getting tired of Galveston architecture! Time to take a break and the next posts will be something different.
