Hello, Simon. I have obviously seen this done before, and a lot of people like to desaturate the background. The sign certainly stands out against your bluish background, though, and also has very good detail and exposure. There are lots of vertical and horizontal lines, as opposed to the circle of the sign. I think there is too much of the buildings for the sign to have impact, though. In my modification, I used the perspective correction to get the lines straight (fell short a bit on the left, lol), before cropping and placing the sign in the bottom right third. I brightened the image and adjusted levels. My second modification has some of the blue removed, by using colour balance>warmer. My third modification has the background desaturated. See what you think.
Pamela.

hi, like Pamela says ive seen it before but its still a nice shot, i like building abstracts and this is quite well composed with the left side holding in, the nice blue banding and the sign tucked nicely down on the third.

im guessing without any exposure detail that this about f8 or f.6 and the building at the rear is slightly soft, it would have been better to use f11 or f16 for a little more depth of field.

i did a mod straightening the banding, increased the saturation in the blues and gave the whole thing a good dose of smartsharpen,

hope you approve,
regards,
Phil
