I believe that you should get some kind of award for seeing something that is very ordinary and making it into something special. This is another example. I enjoy your photos...you are always pushing for more. I also like that you share with us how you got to the final result. Many thanks..... have a great weekend.

Wow, what a sky! Oh, and the sign is pretty funny too :). You have a lot of interesting lines and angles going on as well as some nice color. So what does the other side say? And I hope you did not stand in the middle of a busy road in your pursuit of interesting photography...

Thanks Cindi!

This was an elevated portion of a freeway and I was able to safely take the shot from a Starbucks parking lot; no heroics from me! :-)

Cheers!

This one resulted in a very fine image with this technique of yours, using the HDR.
