Architecture Picture

This is my original shot with no corrections made. This  picture was taken in September 2010 out side of laporte highschool. I used auto setting without the flash on.

This is the same photo with a few corrections made. The first thing I did was rotate the image. Then I cropped the photo to remove pieces of the building that was not needed. After that I made adjustments to the levels and changed the input to -36 and the output to 3. after that step the last thing that I did was moved the curve level so the input level was at 18 and the output I kept at 0.
I like this shot most because it darkens the tint and adds a little green shade that wasn't there before.
I decided to use this shot as my architecture photo because it shows a building that many people worked hard to build and it is a place where many feet have entered and learned great lessons.
