Great Shot! I really Like the effect you’ve created Scott. The reflections of the trees in the windows are a real bonus and add a lot.

  Thank you, Chillbrook…seemed to bring out that “bureaucratic” effect.

This building does look awfully bureaucratic! Beautiful shot!

A strong image. It’s very imposing with the orange colouring – sort of claustrophobic. I like the way the trees are reflected in many of the windows.

Surely it’s not as depressing as it looks. All it needs is some bars on the windows to complete the picture. Hope it’s not the building you work in?

  I did touch it up a little bit, Gunta…and it was just an old building down the road from where I work…not my work-place. And yes, bars on the windows would do it. Yikes! Thank you. 🙂

That’s what buildings like that make me think of-bureaucratic red tape and needless hassles.

  My thoughts exactly, Allen…royal pains in the back-side. 🙂

Great shot Scott. Did you have to play around to get the exposure you wanted? It works really well with the red brick. There is a sinister, workhouse feel to the place.

  Thank you, Finn…all of the effect was was rendered through post-processing. I was actually in quite a hurry returning to work on my lunch-time walk and just stopped and snapped a few shots. Tried to get branches in nice places, but I was on street-level and the building a bit higher than I was, so I kind of just grabbed the images and hoped for the best…as I hurried back to work. 🙂 And yes, there is a bit of the sinister, work-house feel.
