Fancy Facade [Contest Finalists October 2009]
Uploaded: October 19, 2009 00:12:06
The intricate designs on the face of this building captured my attention on my trip to Lahore in September '09. Did some perspective adjustment in PS CS2. Also, didn't like the bland sky so replaced it with a matching one!
Take care all.
