Van Pelt Street
Uploaded: January 22, 2004 05:03:23
f/ 5.0, 1/50 sec., EB -1/3, ISO 200, hand held, 11:55 AM, Philadelphia, PA. Van Pelt Street is one of my favorite little streets in the city. I often walk down it on the way home from church on Sundays. I took this this past Sunday which was cold rainy and dreary. I did not like how the sky turned out so I re-colored it, buzzed the image with no.1 simplifier (750) and framed it with colors from the shutters and doors. Liked the RGB thing it has going on.

I was really drawn to the way the windows, doors and shutters create almost a repeating pattern in various colors. Beautiful shot. #343603Robert Mann January 22, 2004

Super PS work and image Rob! The final verdict is bravo!! #343771Carol Brill January 22, 2004
Outstanding composition and perspective, RoB, the nice symmetry in the lines of color lead the eye very pleasingly through the image, and the softness of the effects adds just the right touch to balance the angular patterns! This is terrific!! #343916Karen Engelbreth January 22, 2004
