The shot is actually a reflection of the lamp and arch in the widow of an antique shop. The clock is inside the antique shop. I was fooling around with gaussian blur and did a layer with the blur at around 50 pixels. I set it to multiply and blended it a little with the unaltered background. By that time I had lost the clock completely, so I cut and pasted it from another version of the same shot that I had done earlier.
Maybe you guys will throw me off the thread for cheating, because this was actually shot at around 8:45 a.m. on my way to work.
Hey, great job! Your digital contriving really paid off. Now we know for sure we can't believe anything we see in photos :) I love the dim, cozy after hours look.
I like this a lot. Like a little nightly vignette. The mauve/pink with the warm glow of the amber from the light is a nice combination. All of the black works and the scroll of the lantern's base and the clock face add a nice bit of roundness to all of the straight lines.
