On the same trip as the previous posts, we found this building with interesting blue painted plywood covering the doors, I think it is abandoned. While I was framing a shot of the architecture, birds started flying between the buildings and for some reason I can't put my finger on, I liked this frame. Probably a different time of day would have given me better light on the structure, and maybe it should be cropped to just below the arched windows, I am not sure. I tried to process it for a gritty, urban look and used an action from Kubota that I have not liked on images before but cut the opacity back.
Camera info: Nikon D200, 18-70 lens at f6.3 and 180th, ISO 100, -.67 exposure compensation, shade whitebalance
Post processing: Perspective adjusted, removed part of a building above the arched windows, duplicated the background in softlight at 50%, curves layer in luminosity to brighten the shadows, Enter the Dragon action by Kubota, vignette by Kubota, Fibrous Edge by Kubota, sharpened with the highpass filter.
