A strange doorway [Photography Contest Photoshop & Digital Darkroom]
Uploaded: March 15, 2008 05:55:30
I made the initial photo in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I used the whirl and pinch and retinex effects in Gimp, turned the image into b&w and then made some changes in the overall image balance and softened the image a bit.
