Story:
I was working at Hong Kong, and had to travel to Singapore, arrived during the weekend so had time to walk around town with my faithful Rollei camera. Taking care to avoid the multiple X-ray scans at security check points. Weeks before, while taking a sunset photograph at Kowloon, my cable release had a short circuit and burned one of the components of the camera. Fortunately, I was able to find a Rollei repair at Hong Kong.
With the camera repaired after having lunch at a market, on one the streets I found a small temple, or what it looked like. Took a few images, but the one that captured my feelings was the small door below the temple entrance.
This image was digitally solarized using the The Sabattier effect is a technique developed by Armand Sabattier in 1860. He altered the normal densities of a photographic image giving a touch of light during the development, also called solarization. It was primitively used for black and white plates, nowadays, in the case of the color it produces unreal colors and images.
Both images look great, but I like most the solarized version.
