2012 - Architectural Étude #2 - Berlin, on Black
My friends,
It's been two weeks since I have got home from my holidays, and I took a nice off-internet period.
This image comes from the Berlin Photowalk of last May, and it's my best architectural image to date.
I am satisfied with this processing; I worked hard on it and after 239 layers the image looks (almost) like I wanted to.
It required 20 hours to get here.
Hope you had some special holidays, I finally had the chance of slowing down with everything (also with shooting) and I will soon start with much more energy!
Meanwhile, don't forget to take a look at
