Gateway to the Past [Contest Finalists March 2004]
Uploaded: March 22, 2004 02:30:46
f/2.8, 1/75, ISO 100, overcast conditions mid afternoon, no flash. Converted to sepia all but archway, added "sun" w/mystical lighting in archway. Wanted the effect that you could walk through archway to the time when the castle would have been in all its glory, but the rest of the aged portion to show the ruin and age of it today.
