Sticky Wicket was just re-worked today from an older photo. It's probably clear to anyone following these posts that I enjoy taking photos of the stairs on our grounds. Not only are the shapes and shadows intriguing but they present the challenge of lining up various horizontals and verticals within the shot. I.e., which need to be lined up with the photo's edge and which can stay "tilted" (at least by my eyes). In this respect, I have often cropped an original, then found myself having to tilt the photo a bit as the visual balance had changed. This was the case here. After cropping and lining it up, it was changed to this single hue (after first trying sepia tones and many other colors). This hue, by the way, is in the same family as the actual color of the railings (only it's darker "live").
