The goal here was to emulate the nostalgic (to me, anyway) look of faded Ektachromes, which always turned magenta in the blacks. In retrospect, I put in too much "grain", but so it goes :-)

I wonder if you could have hidden that background sign behind one of the viewers.

I've definitely looked through those a few times. Knowing the area, the aged grainy processing and blue water and warm golden bars are presented quite well.

Great framing. I like this type of processing very much. It looks just a little flat. A 7 from me.

My first inclination was that I didn't like this... but the more I look at it, the more I like it. The colors threw me at first, but I'm starting to appreciate it more. Maybe a touch too much magenta in the blacks.
