If you turn around after taking this photo on Washington Street and then cross the street to the opposite corner, this is what you see. Actually, that’s exactly what I did.

1 Apr 2010You know, I’m generally a guy who likes processing more toward the “real” end of things but I *really* like this one. I’m not creative enough to describe it but with the texture and the blacks it really has cool feel to it. I like the frame too…

Thank you very much for the praise on this one. I went a bit outside my usual style, which I’ve actually been doing a bit more lately (some of which hasn’t been published yet). So maybe it’s becoming my new style, at least for some types of shots: not realistic but also I hope not overdone. This is a mix of many effects laid one on top of the next: something from Topaz Adjust and Detail both, then LucisPro and then 2 Nik filters. I’m glad you liked the edge, too. I did it on a whim: I shot this handheld and would have had to crop to eliminate the non-overlapping edges. This was another way of solving that problem for this shot, but I don’t think I’m likely to use it that often. I’m not too enamored of the frayed edge look — I just thought it worked here.
