This is the old bank in the little town of Alberta in Virginia. No longer in use, it still looks pretty good.

That supports my belief that the camera never captures what you see. Nicely shot and processed.

You dressed that bank up very well, Dave! Where is Alberta in relation to Richmond?

You've got some haloing around the tree on the left. Turn down clarity a bit.

A nice building. Surely they could use it for something else, library?

Yes, quite often you have a certain scene you visualize and the original frame does not render that look. In these types of images I am showing here I am trying to show you what it looked like before I took my artistic steps to make it uniquely mine. I fully understand that what I like may not suit everybody. Thanks for taking the time to stop and comment.

Mike, Alberta is just off I-85 northeast of South Hill. About an hours drive from Richmond. Union Level is just southwest of South Hill about 90 min drive from Richmond. Thank you for your comment and question.

I know that looks a bit like haloing but is actually the texture from the artistic preset I used to get a more painterly look to the image. Thank you for your suggestion though.
