How are you doing the framing and captioning?

@Twelvebit: I really did get your question. If you mean how I do it literally! Oh well, I use Photoshop and you might know. If you need detailed steps, I would be happy to help you on that. Drop me a line and I will send you what is needed.

I guess what I'm really asking is if there is some automated function or "filter" --a plug-in-- that adds the frame and caption. I know how to do it manually.

@Twelvebit: No, I just did it manually but one can create an action in Photoshop and other Adobe products to do the same thing in an automated fashion

I like the way you seem to play with light and shades on this photo. Well done.

@Quintino: Well it's just an HDR in it's true form, I can't assume too much credit

Wow, this is a postcard perfect image, dear Amir. Strong strong colours and textures, and awesome contrast between each. What I find fascinating is that somehow, alongside this picture postcard perfection, your composition also beautifully highlights a sense of emptiness in the midst of all this – bricks & wood, bricks & mortar. For me, it strikingly raises the issue : is this the highest ‘ideal’ that most of us human beings end up slogging so hard for – more of a roof over our heads? And is it empty and flimsy in the end? Is it what our existence is reduced to in the end? There is truly an amazing irony you have captured here which causes us to ponder. Once again, FIRST-CLASS work, dear friend.
