Fluidr / Dusk at the Palace of Fine Arts by Matt Granz Photography

I was seeking a unique version of this place on a clear sky day... don't know if I did... but I like it.

I took this single image through Lightroom and then Photoshop to create the depth of field seen here while trying to stay as close to looking natural with no HDR like elements. It's hard because once you see all the details with the shadows almost completely removed it becomes a new reality to the mind and then you have to fight that in order to bring the picture back to being representational to what you saw... same goes for the colors. It's a war every time I go into post production.
