I took this picture while working on an assignment for my digital media class. I drove around downtown Toledo on a cold snowy afternoon. When I loaded my pics to flickr they all mimicked the day, dreary and gray. The first thing I did was crop and rotate the photo so it focused on the one window column. I increased the contrast to brighten up the shot a bit. The window ledges were a drab orange and the boards a dull yellow brown. I played with the saturation and temperature til I got the yellow and orange to pop. I increased the shadow to highlight some of the bricks on the building. While the building is boarded up and looks abandoned the editied version gives it tons of life, occupied or not.
