Today’ daily shoot challenge: Construction seems to be perpetual: streets, sidewalks, buildings. Make a photo of something under construction today.
Construction – that sounds easy, right? That’s what I thought so too.
Took my P&S camera during my afternoon walk at work and took couple of shots of building constructions – I wasn’t quite pleased at the outcome. So on my way from work took a detour and visited this tiny two way road close to home which has been closed for re-pavement. It was quite sunny and had revisit later this evening to shoot for today’s challenge.
I should have taken my polarizing filter – the sky looked flat. So had to use couple of PS actions to bring out the subject.
I am starting to like this Daily Shoot challenge – keeps me stay focused.

I like the tones you used in processing this.
Nice PS manipulation. I like the color treatment… it makes the sign look very interesting.
The post processing is great but what I really like is the fact that you have a church in the background but not completely in focus with an “road closed” sign. Great job Sasi.
I also have been enjoying the daily shoot. It makes me think “outside the box.”
This is great. I really like the colors.
I really like your processing! Interesting composition!
I like this composition and the unfocused background is perfect.
Also the vignette and the red only color visible made this photograph really interesing.
btw, which challenge? did you mean http://dailyshoot.com/ ?
That’s correct Tom. Thanks for your comment.
Nice job Sasi. I like how the red in the sign pops out. Did you consider trying to get more of teh heavy equipment in the image?
Wes, There was a heavy machinery right behind the sign. I tried different compositions and I like this one better than the others. I want to bring in the Church in this shot and specifically want to have it composed with it in the upper corner.
Thanks for your comment/suggestion.
Nice! I like what you did with this!
I like this! The antique look of the colors & the vignette in the background against the dark red in the sign is very nice. I like the church (?) along the skyline. Great composition.
I’ll have to check out this dailyshoot website, its easy to run out of ideas.
awesome shot. love the colors and the texture!
Excellent depth of field & use of color.
I wasn’t able to find anything relating to construction. But you chose well. This is a great shot. I like the selective color and the pp.
the minimal colour is nice and good interpretation of the theme
Despite your disappointment in the outcome, I like the picture. I like the way you processed it and the tones.
I like the contrast in this image.
I’m not a fan of selective color but you’ve done an awesome job with this one. I really like the feel of it. Makes me curious to know what’s beyond the barrier.
