untitled elementary school closing 14

Posted by danthro (Suburbia, United States) on 7 November 2008 in Miscellaneous.

the gradient map tool Craig pointed me to proves useful once again...

Forgot until just now that today is "my special place" day -- i don't think i have any photos of my actual special place, but this place i already posted is near the top of the list.

coming back to photoblogging after some time away; trying to post a new photo every couple weeks.

Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions, etc. are always appreciated. Thanks!

Really sharp graphic appeal ... the metallic tones really sing! What's the trick with the gradient map tool?

Nice image. Strong message. They must take safety very seriously. It's not the same as when I was a kid.

Nicely composed and great processing. The way people speak, you'd think there were signs like this at every turn.
