Hutong Hieroglyphics

Taken in Beijing, China during my 10 day trip for work in December. The only good thing about the 15 degree weather that day was the sunny, yet polluted, sky. The sky was less interesting that I would have liked due to all the pollution and haze, so I converted to a partial sepia, bumped the contrast, saturated the reds quite a bit, and boosted at the greens a bit. Top all that with a much tighter crop.

The feedback from friends on this shot hasn't been the greatest, but there's something I really, really like about this one. So it still makes it up on my stream :)
