Comment by JuliBoc:
I have never heard of Urban Acid, but I like this effect. I like the way it took away the shadow on the white wall and downplayed the bricks in the foreground. I would mask the high red wall to bring back that interesting color and texture, and I think I would mask the sign in the foreground to bring back some of that red.

Rain with abundant sunshine. :-) Love the effect - nice choice of venue in which to execute it, too.

Comment by Melethia:
A rather ho-hum score for what I see as an elegantly presented play of color and form. I very much appreciate the composition in halves - very well handled in my opinion.

Comment by posthumous:
I prefer the original because I like the friction between abstract and real. Urban Acid takes this further from the real.

Comment by raish:
I lke what it's done to the colours in the wall, to the shop sign and also the general bleaking out. There's a fair bit of perspective distortion in this shot though and it's emphasised by the way this process brings out the lines/geometry - little bit too much Urban Downers and Booze in there.

Then again, I can't see the original...

I think it works here. To me, the acid look works well on gritty, dirty, manmade scenes. So this fits!

I like the contrast in this shot. The urban acid really worked well.

I like urban acid and have used it on occasion. You're right that it needs the 'right' subject matter - and this photo seems appropriate. I like what has happened with the color tinge - I love that nasty insidious green. But what I'm not crazy about here is the brightness and especially the contrast - it's a little extreme for me, perhaps because I'm looking for dark and grungy. The other thing may be a side effect of sharpening or overprocessing - it's the jitters on what should be straight lines. Did you do anything besides run the UA?
