Found an alley with no outlet up the street from. I shot it yesterday and today. The light was not great on either day. Yesterdays were dark and todays had blow from the sun in areas. I went with one of yesterdays.
Post: In PSE3.0: Open, rotate CCW 90 degrees. Free rotate and distortion correction. Crop.
Save.
Reopen in PSP9: One pin cushion distortion correction. One step photo fix. Save.
Reopen in PSE3.0: Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. No USM as it was sharpened in PSP9 one step photo fix. Cloned out 4 lights on the upper and mid left. Resize. USM.
I did another version of the same image with big USM (well for me 70% 25 pixels) and a saturation boost from Kyoto color. But as interesting as it was it did not quite look real. So I went with this more subdued version.
