In the center of Warsaw, Poland, many new modern buildings are raising now. They look great, especially just after sunset when the street lights are on and the sky is not too dark yet.
TECH-INFO: I took 5 RAW images using a tripod. I developed 6 TIFF files from them (the brightest RAW file is developed twice, one with an extra exposure stop) to merge into a HDR file. After tone-mapping I enhanced colors in Photoshop with the selective color tool. All possible colors available in the tool are (slightly) altered. Mostly brightened or darkened or re-saturated. This way I made the clouds brighter and the contrasts of the building higher. The image is a little bit cropped. Of the rectangular ceiling outside the building (visible at the center bottom of the image) two lamps were not working. I fixed that in Photoshop by copying two neighbor lamps into a new layer and moving the over the broken ones. Can you guess which lights?
