Fascinating light and textures in this strangely haunting image, Norman! I really like the mood it sets. Nice work! #825794

Hi Nadya, thanks for your nice comment!

Its a little grungy doorway on Court St out here in Bklyn, NY that has a certain appeal to it.

All the color editing was done in 16 bit mode (thanks to my new XTi & Raw)while the lighting is actually from a background layer of a backyard scene.

I blended using the overlay mode which allowed the light fx through to the door image.

Awesome, Norm! Love that color! How do you mean color editing in 16 bit mode...could you explain further? #5315309

Hey Molly!

I must have passed this doorway a hundred times, before taking this shot. After that, I just went crazy in Photoshop. (smile)

Thanks for checking this image out and giving it such good marks.
