Before we get to why this one was so hard, I would just like to say that though I am not sure about it, I did post it to my flickr page also (shameless plug, shameless plug):

And this is the website where I only post the finest of the fine. Now don’t get me wrong. This blog ain’t crap either, but this is where I muse, theorize, fire side chat, who knows what I do up in here, and frankly who cares because it is my little domain. The flickr page is purely the best of the best posted up there. Jeez, what a lot of writing, not photography related. Back to the that thing.
Well, ultra recognizable and I don’t need to tell everywhere where I took the photo or even what it is of. Now the processing. I had a few versions going of it, but then suddenly it became this baroque metal vision that I couldn’t ignore. The top of the clock bothered me so I kept bringing in the shadow on it. The background I will admit looks a bit strange, but all in all, the image makes me happy. I think.
