 Well, you can certainly find something old at a pawn shop. I hope other people can see it that way :-) This pawn shop is kind of a Lansing icon. I remember it even as a child. It has been around like forever. I thought it was kind of neat as a night shot. I guess we'll see if it has any interest to others or not :-)

In ps- rotated slightly, cropped, neat image, usm, shadows/highlights, selective color adj, hue/sat adj, levels, resize, light usm, border

Thanks for checking out my pic :-)

AW, you got robbed a little bit here IMO. I think this should've been in the mid-5's anyway. I actually quite liked it myself.

I don't agree with the suggestion to crop out some the black; I think that oppressive weight of black is integral to this. Hell, I might even ask for more... What I WOULD like to see you do is rotate this so the corner of the building is vertical. That would help a lot. I'd like to see a little more ont he right too. I might like to see it with a faint misty/glow overlay also.

Anyway, good shot and a nice try!

Creative take on "old". I might have cropped just a bit off the top, the black negative space with the lack of stars or any atmosphere does not fit.

This meets the challenge well for me, but it's too much. Too much gaudiness and I'm not crazy about the red overtones. Sorry...
