The Gherkin, 1

Photo Information

Zooming in with the K7 & Pentax 'M' 75-150 f4.0.

I was attracted to the graphic patterns and reflections on this building. It is actually quite hard to find favorable angles to shoot from, as it is rather squeezed in crowded area.

Nice one Nigel. Got some good reflections going on there as well. Have you done much to the original to get the punchy colours?

Thanks for your comments - yes indeed, I did have to boost vibrance significantly in the blue green channels to bring out the colourful reflections. They were in there, but need a strong helping hand. I used the Sagelight 4.0 'Undo Brush' to wipe away any excessive colour bleeding from other areas.
