Lost Glory

I'll revisit this as I progress with post-processing.

Very nice capture Dave. :)

Thanks! This is an amazing neglected structure in a city park. I have no idea what it was used for but I'd love to see it restored. When I have time (HA!) and get my post-processing work-flow (love that kinda talk) down, I'll go back to the original and rework it from scratch but it has it's intrinsic characteristics--one of which is the high contrast. I do want to dig as much structural detail out of the deep shadows as possible but there are limits. In this lower quality version, the structure has a sort of noisy patina which I actually kind of like but we'll see...

The original glory may be lost but you have shown the structure in its new glory. I'm glad you got a photograph of it before it is restored or torn down. Nice!

Thanks, Shawn! This is another view of the structure in this shot:

It's not, for better or worse, likely to be restored (or razed, for that matter) any time soon.
