More El Paso Buildings

thewayneI was looking at my folder of stuff that I shot during the 2014 Scott Kelby International Photo Walk, which this year I missed by one day, and realized that I had several other promising photos that I hadn't processed! So I spent a few hours working on them and was quite pleased with the results. Here's an additional seven:
The interesting thing about this particular shot is that it's the result of quite a bit of cropping, this was the far right corner of the original. The original shot had a parking garage and another building underneath the balcony, and taken as a whole frame it was quite a boring shot, but viewing it again, full-screen, on a 27" 5K monitor I realized that by cropping in on the right side there was that wonderful red brick and it became a very nice image.
I quite like the bird on the edge of the roof along with the partial sign.
As always, click to embiggen.
Most of these are HDR processed and shot with a circular polarizer to enhance the clouds. I do love me some polarization!
The other six are under the cut, and an additional five that were posted a while back are on my photography site at http://waynewestphotography.com/gallery/index.php?/category/13
This building is the El Paso Convention Center.
I love the shapes and colors in this building. And again, pigeons.
I got A LOT of mileage/photos out of this building! Of the 12 photos in this gallery on my web site, five of them are of this building and 3 of them are in this post! I had high hopes for this particular photo, but then it turned out that it had terrible focus. But hope was not lost - an idea came to me. I used editing tools to remove several street lights and other reminders of modern life, erased some parking stripes in front of it - the one that remains is pretty much impossible to remove - and did a grainy black and white treatment! I think it works, whereas as a color treatment the lack of focus would not be acceptable.
And there's a pigeon! There's also the faintest lines of a ladder on the water tank on the left side of the roof.
