    I like the green look... however, it seems a bit dark, at least on my screen. I would like to see more of the palm backdropped by the blue sky. I think that would make the green stand out more in the building and the palms.

    peace.

    johno, thanks for the input. ordinarily I would agree but this is as natural as it comes for this challenge, "predominant color / no photoshop". It was dark, cold and cloudy yesterday in LA and this shot is as true as I could muster. ne_nau.gif

    I like it very much.. if you did want to lighten it a tad or contrast you can in this challenge.. you could curve it just a tad and use unsharpmask as well.. just no major cropping, or cloning or real "photoshop". Only what you'd do in a dark room.. sorta.. kinda..rolleyes1.gif

    well you were right, a little extra "snap" helped the trees pop-out. and I'm glad I could do this within the rules. Thank you. Oh and BTW, "corporate jungle"??? brilliant! I never would've thought of that! mwink.gif
