I photographed this after a wedding reception held at the London Marriot, Canary Wharf on Saturday.
This is what the building in my last picture looks like when seen from the distance.
I post-processed this one with an alien skin exposure plugin by modifying one of the default plugins and mixing the colors in the following ratio (red 100%, Blue 65% Green -65%).
PhotoShop Elements doesn't have a Channel Mixer so I couldn't resist the urge to go a bit crazy when presented with a plugin that allows me to do this.
Alien Skin Exposure is available as a 30 day demo and I am about 5 days through mine so there might be some more crazy ideas in the next few weeks (some will work, some will fall flat).

(4 Aces)I love this...JUst so happened that mine is
similar to yours..only its a building of a
different sort. Your bw is effective ..Good
job for sure :-)
The post processing surely makes a
difference, its almost unreal but not quite.
I love the way the clouds have turned out
also...

Very stark and strong image.
(I must admit that as an Arsenal fan this
building has a certain place in club history
but that is of no relevance to my
appreciation of your pic).
