Tubes of Color


In Paris in the business center called La Defense you can see a little tower decorated with lots of colored tubes. Here is a close up. I wish you a very colorful weekend.


TECH-INFO: One RAW file, converted in ACR. Mainly I pushed the clarity and a little bit the contrast. The yellow tube was a bit over exposed in the red channel, therefore I had to compensate with the recovery and brightness sliders. In Photoshop I used the curves tool to enhance the contrast slightly more and removed some very small pieces of missing paint. It got cropped to 4/3 format because the left outer tubes were almost black and didn't really fit in this image. Finally I added a rectangular and corner vignetting.

Simple and abstract result but you used a heavy way to obtains perfection. Bravo.
