Looking toward Cell Block 4 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a second photo of the Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadephia, Pennsylvania, which is a "National Historic Site" being preserved as a "stabilized ruin". This view is looking from Cell Block 5 across a central area toward Cell Block 4. I liked the pattern of the doors. My first photo can be found here. The colors of this photo are much warmer than the first, making it not quite so much a picture of despair.

Cropped to remove a distracting fuse box, otherwise as shot.

Lois,

Excellent framing here. I would recommend with this narrow crop that you go even further still—if you crop it to 800px X 250px (1:2.5 ratio) TE will allow you to post a larger version with greater detail. in the Manage Photos section. With this subject just dripping with texture it would be well worth showing the larger version.
