Bracket... The orange reflections are lights from below that are part of the building. I first created an image with different color correction curves on each triangle in the image, then flattened all of that. I created a mask to pick out just the green colors of the plants by converting the original to LAB mode and combining the a and b channels and increasing the contrast to create a chroma mask which I used on the normal copy of the image over the colorized image. I then did a mild Gaussian Blurred to it, and placed that all under another normal copy of the image, and applied a hard light blend mode, a curve adjustment layer, and viola`.

I also think its great! Is the bright orange/yellow spot a reflection of the sun? Did you do some special PP on this one (to get this soft look)? greetings, bracket

You've found a perfect object for the theme here. The structure and the colours are great and the contrast between the cold metal and the plants are striking. Fred

Hi Scott, Very nice, the contrast of the stark metal and the organic is the aspect that I most like. The lighting is also very subtle and add a lot to the picture. Claudio

Great shot. It almost looks like a mirrored image. Very good.

this is really cool -- with lights, shadows, colors, reflections... a little of everything.
