I was really surprised that my photograph yesterday was on the aminus3 spotlight. I had no idea. I don't even know who to thank, but thank you - the aminus3 community. It really is an exhilarating feeling to be recognized that way.

This is another one of my Ground Zero shots... it may not be up to par as the photograph from yesterday, but I mainly took this photograph as a symbol - analyze this one all you want.

Post Processing:
Arbitrary Rotate with the ruler tool.

I made a square crop from the original, I felt the square would visually focus on the symbolism of the shot more.

I did what the guys told me on my last post to sharpen everything but the sky to reduce the effect of the noise, so I did what they said, and used the layer mask to make the selection of everything but the sky, and used my usual smart-sharpening settings (you can find those setting in the post-processing section on many of my other posts)
