If you're not thinking about looking for the unusual, you'll walk right by it!

The contrasts of #2 are wonderful. Gritty, decaying walls against lush, thriving greenery. That you created one of those walls is just amazing, Bill!
Besides the contrasts, I also really like the composition of the long, steep stairway to a hidden life we're immediately curious about.

Thank you so much Linda! This was a challenge. There was so much wrong with the far right side of the original.
Before I took the photo, I knew what I wanted to do with it. The left side was easy, as were the flowers at the base of the stairs. I copied the left wall and placed it to cover up the right side. Added some filters and a layer mask to finish it up.

This is among some of the best work you've done in my opinion...great eye, and the PP work is masterful!!

Places like this hold such secrets! You have, in my opinion, cropped it perfectly in #2! Great job Bill!

Masterful transformation from 1 to 2. The extra wall is brilliantly done and the stark bright colours combine to take the viewer on a mental journey.

Pierre, it's funny you mentioned photographic eye. I wrote a small piece about the Photographer's eye!

Carol, I can't thank you enough for you're kind words! I wanted to show another example of taking a photo other's wouldn't think of taking. Images like this are all over the place if folks would just learn to look for
them.
