Putrajaya Mosque

Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 14 April 2007 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Shot this mosque at 10pm, although the results were colorful and so were the shadows, however, i decided to experiment with desaturation and some cooling filter and it kinda worked... For some reasons i liked this end result. :)

@JackGirl: Thanks Jack, was just trying the B&W to see if it looked equally interesting like the color one. And it kinda worked, B&W rocks hehehe...

Dave from United Kingdom

Like what you've done, converts very well. I can see this as another panoramic crop if you chopped off some of the sky.

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

It works beautifully, Rahul!! Great job with the pp. But is it my eye or is it tilted just a bit to the left? Maybe it's just a bit of an obtical illusion.. ;-)
