Just bouncing around DPC and find myself revisiting this great shot. I see I gave it a 9 at the time -- would bump that up, now that the "theme" seems less important.
Maybe cropping in closer on the left side, including the tree shadow, but not the meter on the wall, might be better.
Try some LensBaby shots on carnival rides.
Happy New Year jack....Nice job playing with what I am guessing was a Christmas present. This feels like I am falling through time to this alley (it made me think of the first terminator film)
Love the fact that even with the new lens you have still managed to keep the colours so vibrant throught the shot
The lensbaby works REALLY well for this - definitely adds the sense of hidden or secret. Love the effect and the color. It has that lovely late evening glow to it.
A reasonably good site.....Lensbabies don't work for me one iota; just haven't acquired a taste for the effect, may never. Good composition, lighting, and processing, though.....
When we glance at the hidden, unattractive back alleys and electric meters, out attention usually highlights just a couple of key aspects while the rest could just as easily be blurred and unnoticed. The lens baby effect imitates this well, which I appreciate somewhat to my surprise (I like many kinds of blur, but usually don't like the lens baby results).
