I shotthis photo late afternoon. the composition of the image is as it was shot - a la Cartier-Bresson. Some color tweaking was done however, to warm up the colors, and highlight the red reflections. I used the floor as background, because the light was there, and things seemed to fit perfectly. The texture of the wooden floor came out a bit flat and unpleasant. So I cut out the glass and its refelection, to overlay a subtle texture only on the wooden floor in order to make it more interesting.

Skyline in the mist

This photo was shot in Niagara Falls from the US side. The skyline is on the canadian side. The photo was processed with The Gimp using the channel mixer, plus some edge sharpening.
