I passed by this parking garage entrance during a night time photo walk about 2 months ago, and was struck by how clean, bright, and colorful it was compared to similar establishments. I took a 5-shot bracketed set, but never quite managed to re-create the effect I saw with my eyes. This result comes the closest, but I went through a ton of alternate versions. I have also posted 3 alternate version on Flickr, and if you click on the image you should be taken to this image in my photostream, where the others should be easy to find. I would be interested in all opinions about the different versions and results. Thanks.

UPDATE: One more version and I’m walking away from this image that’s giben me so much trouble. This version is based on Michael Tuuk’s comments below. (more…)
