I am playing with some new code that will allow me to dynamically change the stylesheet in order to pick a better color scheme for each image. Let me know if this is a good thing, a bad thing, or if it doesn't work. The white sky of this image just looked horrible against the gray background.

I tried to take a photo of every tomb I came across at the Qutub Shahi tomb complex but I couldn't get a decent photo of this one. The sun was really high in the sky and everything looked so horribly washed out. I nearly purged it.

After I got back to the 'States I started playing around with images that were similar to this one: more-or-less decent except for a region of blown highlights. I found that for some of the images I could breathe a little visual interest back into them if I converted them to black and white and gave them a little funk. I think this one has the funk.

My funk recipie is pretty simple: convert to black and white using favorite technique, add contrast, add grain and tone. Voila!
