777 on Chicago's Giddings Plaza
Heh. This was maybe the most fun one to shoot of 07_07_07 flickr series.
Everyday to and from work I walk through this wonderful european-style plaza in the heart of Chicago's Lincoln Square is a european-style plaza. The plaza's in-laid bricks are often filled with chalk drawings by children.
I brought my own chalk (that I had since I was a kid) and drew on the bricks. It was fun drawing on the bricks. I picked a shadier part of the plaza figuring that would make the scene more interesting. But the shadows ended up obscuring the 777, so I did a good deal of photoshop work on this. Usually I don't pump up the saturation a ton, but in this case, I went ahead.
You can read my full critique of this photo and the others I submitted to the flickr 07_07_07 group on my blog at: www.spudart.org/blogs/randomthoughts_comments/4157_0_3_0_C/
