I love how you shot this one, and thank you for sharing.

I love the tones here. the processing you did gives a surreal feel that I quite like as well. the composition is excellent- I love the angle.

Thank-you camster and Bambi!
This is taken from an elevated walkway that is packed with tourists and their cameras, so I was going for something that might be a little different in post. Also, when leaning on the wall for support, an omnipotent voice yelled "Get off the wall!". Trying to climb down and shoot prone from the foreground surely would have met with sniper fire. :)

It's a pretty cool shot. I like the processing, makes it look like it was shot on a family vacation years ago, nostalgic somehow? Anymore angles on this dam?

Love the rich tones your processing has pulled out.

[MartinW]

Thank you Michael and Richard! :)


... Anymore angles on this dam?...

Yep... a few others from different pov's:
