I was in San Antonio on vacation a few weeks ago. The Alamo of course was high on my list to shoot. This one was taken early one morning. I had just passed the door and noticed a light on inside, and this is what resulted from a 30 second exposure. C&C welcomed (especially on colours/contrast/etc as I'm not sure my monitor is calibrating properly).

Very nice image. My monitor is not calibrated either but it looks fine to me.

I have never been to San Antonio but the Alamo is at the top of the list if I ever get there. Do you have anymore Alamo pics you could post.

That's a really nice shot.

Lovely image. The light adds a certain intrigue to it.

Thanks for the comments everyone. Norman, none that are as good as this one but I'll post some more once I look through the rest and edit them.

And now the moment of truth; here is the original bottom part of this photo. My first time doing this much clean up in Photoshop but I think it was worth it.
