Thanks for your comments on this. Any advice on taking a shot directly into a street light? The shot was painterly to begin with but getting rid of noise really brought that out after lighting up the dark edges. |

I want thank everyone for their comments on this one. And also ask some advice from more experienced photogs. The problem here was shooting directly at a street light. In order to keep the center from being totally blown out, I lost a lot of detail at the edges. The original shot was rather painterly looking, likely because of a Vivid color setting. Then when I brought out the darker areas, there was a lot of noise. The addition of noise reduction and some blurring ( the first two steps in any "painting" filter) brought out that aspect more. But I still liked the picture. Attached is the original. Any advice on how I could have captured a better shot to begin with?

This is well taken. I don't suppose you could have found a better angle. The light is just a tiny bit overexposed, but that is impossible to calculate. there is tremendous atmosphere in the shot. Perhaps a figure, even one inside the building would have completed the effect. |

This image has such a painterly feel to it that I almost think it's a photograph of a painting or you applied a filter in PS. Did you? I like the color and the perspective showing all the windows of the gallery. |

I think I'd even like it more in black and white. The colors here are quite intriguing, however. Nice job. |

I'm unconvinced about the processing here - sure, it's a legitimate entry, and all legal and everything, but it takes what would appear to me to have been rather a fine photograph into the realms of something else. I see a connection between the subject and the treatment too, but don't find it holds much appeal. |

This feels very softened and painterly rather than photographic. Did you add blur? |

Painterly-less photo like. I love filters yes I do, but on dpc you pay a price. This is very nice...don't get me wrong. I like it a lot. Just not photo like for here. |

This reminded me of an Edward Hopper painting. Excellent colors, lighting and control over your technicals. Good seeing. |

Excellent image. Very compelling. Love that all the windows are ablaze with light and it looks very inviting inside. Nice painting effects... |
