Water stairs

Sometimes photoshop doesn't what you think it would. The original photo was way too dark, so I tryed to use one of the auto optios, here is the result....Colors aren't good at all, but the result is quite interesting.
Camera on the way to healing, hope there'll be no scars. And today is really rainy... So inside photo... or perhaps a gotham one, not sure yet what is schedulled this evening.

I vote for Gotham MnX as Im a big fan of those images (however sporadic). And its good to know you cameras on the mend mate. The symmetry is interesting here and its always good to experiment with PS, purely for the learning experience.

@Duncan Galbraith: ^^ I know you're for gotham, but it's independent from my wil at the moment.
Plus météo-france announced a tempest ... hard for my poor camera still convalencent. Time will tell.

Duncan, are there auto functions in Photoshop???? LOL Only kidding, I never use them thats why, will not always give me the effect or feel i may want to achieve, so it's manual tweeking all the time for me.

Reminds of something one would see in Indiana Jones Movies, where was this taken?

@Suby: I can't be sure of my own eyes, for 2 reasons : uncalibrated monitor, colorblindness :p.. so I rely on auto functions of photoshop when in need.

The photo was taken not far from the FNL at Bercy parc in paris.

Impressive image. Looks like an Aztec pyramid.

An impressive architecture... The light you've captured gives it a mysterious touch!

Interesting...your work is very good. It's all very dark and urban and provides for an interesting view of city life.

Franchement j'aime beaucoup. Très beau, mystérieux. Voire inquiétant ? Super photo en tout cas.

Your night long exposures have been working well! This would've been a completely different shot had it been taken in the daytime. I'm looking forward to more in this style.
