Unlined Curtains [Contest Finalists July 2005]
Uploaded: July 18, 2005 03:03:43
This is Hotel Lawrence from downtown Dallas. I photographed it from blocks away, hand held, with a telephoto lens, so my image was unlevel, not sharp and very boring. So I started decorating again. Using magic wand and marque tools, and variations and hue-saturation, I gave the building a little personality.
