At the corporate park. At first I was planning full desaturation, but decided to experiment a bit.

Adjustments done in PS.

Awesome picture! Though, the only thing that bugs me a bit is the red tiles of the roof... they stand out a bit too much, even though they're desaturated. How about replacing the colors on them?

To be honest I've never tried replacing colors before in PS. I have played with the tool. What color do you suggest I try?
Thank you for the suggestion!

Actually, I tried out the color change... I was thinking about a tone of blue to match the water or gray to match the sky, but none of them have the same effect as the original. Then I tried a more panoramic landscape cropping... which was interesting, but compared to the original, the original is still the best. So, I think it's perfect as it is haha (or at least I can't think of any way to make it better )

I like it a lot, but it looks to artificial to be a landscape.

Could you send e-mail me the original pic?

It was very nice shooting there. despite the fact it got cloudy, the wind was blowing and the atmosphere was quite tranquil.
I'm glad you like the desaturated colors. Thanks very much!

Super! All very much is pleasant to me. That this fhoto has slightly desaturation, from it shot became just better. It's looks very "tasty"

Thanks!!

I wasn't sure if I wanted it in BW or this. But this version, although still on the grey side was more expressive.

For me seems, that you have made a correct choice. Sometimes bright/contrast colors or a black-and-white are looked boringly. But this kind of this photo allows that who looks on it, independent in his/her imagination can to paint a picture in the necessary colors or to decolour it. All depends from imagination

It's actually a corporate park. Its a very big office complex with nice trees and lawns. They have many areas where you can go relax or eat. It can be very soothing.
