This is the last of the **hometown** photos. I must admit - it was fun being a tourist in my own city. Hope you enjoyed the photos. I usually don't shoot places and things - up until 2 weeks ago all i shot were pictures of my kids. I'm actually having a lot of fun with it and it seems like my photos are turning out better than my portraitures!!...but then again, unlike my kids, these objects stay still for me!!
Wanted to try the Orton like many of you peas have...not the best photo to use it on but we don't have much greenery around here this time of year...
This is the original...

Oh I love city scape images!!!
I think I would have to go back and play a bit more w/the reflections on the building.
On the conversion...I would try adding more blur to really make it noticeable.

Love all your city shots!
I think I actually like the non-Orton shot better. I think the orton shot is a bit dark (the windows). Orton is fun to play with though!
