Waiting
Another from 5 May (24 hours of Flickr). I ended up playing with this for way too long. I liked the composition, but the lighting was quite flat, so I kept fiddling in hopes of making something happen. Eventually I settled on the GIMP’s retinex filter, as it really helped pop the mid-ground boxcar on the left which, in turn, really helps balance the image.
I have no idea what retinex actually does, but I quite like its effect, especially on flat, largely monochromatic images. Like any trick, though, I have to be careful to not overuse it.
