Bok Tower Door

This is a massive and incredibly detailed Brass door at Bok Tower in Lake Whales Florida. The Tower (which is over 200 feet tall) was built on one of the highest spots in Florida (a whopping 300 feet above sea level) and is on the national register of historic places. The Tower is surrounded by a moat and gates so you can't get terribly close but it's nice to have a telephoto lens with you!

Nikon D300s 18-200mm VR @ 112mm HH
f/11
1/80s
ISO 400

Full Frame, adjustments made in ACR and CS6 (beta) including levels, saturation and contrast.

Very cool patterns and colors. The brass really glows.
