Thanks I used a circular polarizer filter on it and the sky is a bit bluer than it was actually that day so that may be the reason it kind of looks like a 3d rendering it is 3d just real life 3d :) The monument elevator was broken down and we didnt get to ride to the top so I had to photograph the top. But its a real tower maybe Im posting the wrong images? just trying to get some past ones that are different and got a good grade in the class to kind of introduce myself. Leigh the class I am taking is www.photoshoot.net I have enjoyed it so far I still need to finish it but hate winter so Im waiting for spring.
