Partial Green House

Building:  Roy J Carver Co Lab

Time:  7:25pm
Composition:  I took the photo on center with the water retention roof on the interior.  I started to crop the image to remove the handicap sign on the left.  The original crop was very tight and removed a lot of the sky.  I decided to crop only one side to add context and clouds for the rest of the photograph/
Process:  Cropped photo to off center the greenhouse in the image

Wood Division

Building:  2nd floor landing College of Design
