WALL, HUNTSVILLE, ON

As I explained yesterday, I did not take many pictures in Huntsville but I did photograph some marks on a wall. Initially it did not look very promising when I  viewed it on my screen. I decided it had possibilities so I started with intensifying the colour. It still didn't work so I then used a technique called  tonal mapping. This brought out texture now it looked much better. Simple dodging and burning further enhanced the image and finally I turned the picture into a vertical and this is the result.
