Garden Structure - Print-a-Day-30

This is number 30 in the series "Print-a-Day for 30 Days."

This is a roof detail from a structure at the local botanical gardens.

This photo is loaded with detail.  The end and side grain pattern in the wood, even the highlights are full of small detail.  There are no broad swaths of pure color in the photo.

It was not terribly difficult to print the photo.  The most difficult part was deciding when to stop tweaking Lightroom's highlight and shadow controls.  There's actually a lot of latitude in this image and it could be rendered several different ways.  In the end, you just have to stop playing and print something.

This is where I decided to stop, both for this print and the 30 day project.  It has been a good learning experience.  I'll post a wrap-up tomorrow.
