The Fountain [Contest Finalists September 2006]
Uploaded: September 20, 2006 22:08:49
Los Angeles CA. High Noon at Union Station. I used HDR to combine 2 exposures to bring out the detail in the washed out areas and paint Shop Pro to make adustments to even out colors etc. The original scene was very washed out due to the harsh light.
