Trust others when they say it’s a good shot

Recently I took my daughter to the Space Needle and while we were waiting for our car to be brought around to us, I decided to take this shot real quick. The clouds were really cool that day, and this was a less common view of this world famous landmark. When I first processed it for my review of Topaz Adjust I thought it looked pretty neat, but then I dismissed it as dull and boring. However, my wife and Photography mentor both saw the shot and loved it (especially the clouds) so I started to think it wasn’t as bad and boring as I had originally thought. Their judgment is very good, so I’m adding this shot to my list of keepers. I actually kinda like it now, so I guess my first gut instinct was right!

This shot was taken with a Canon 5D Mark II with a 24-105mm f/4L IS USM set to f/8 and 1/500 sec at a focal length of 24mm and ISO 400. I processed it exclusively with Photoshop CS4 and Topaz Adjust as I discuss in this article (which shows a before and after).
