Walking home last night I saw this business down a dark side street. To get the photo in low light I braced my camera against a street sign and used the timer function to help keep it steady.
There are a lot of these "storefront psychics" in New York.
Besides the square crop, I selectively lightened the signs (sloppily, I see now) and added color to the neon. I saved it a second time so there may have been a small degradation in quality.
There's a lot to see in the dark! I don't think there's anything sloppy about the processing. The psychic signs are great, but that bar/restaurant to the side really gets to me. Come on in and have a bite to eat after your reading.
Only $5 for a special redaing, that's cheap, a friend of mine was charged £50 for the same service in London (I told him, I think she must have seen you coming...groan)
I love the low key on this shot and despite the fact you were slightly scathing of your PP I have to say i would be thrilled if I took an image like this. The lighting works very well and given there is no obvious rule of third application it draws you into the shot beautifully
