A street scene on Queen Street West in Toronto. Shot just after a slight rain on an early Friday evening. This street is normally busting with activity but surprisingly this photo doesn't show it. This being Friday the 13th might have something to do with it.

White balance and exposure adjustments done in raw. The yellowish/greenish cast is intentional.

In PSCS2: levels, curves, color adjustments, dodging and burning, yellow color filter, omni lighting effects used for glow and some vignetting, cloning of some of the transit wires on the right top corner, Neat Image, crop, resize, Smart sharpen, border.

Wonderful TO shot! Good choice on the shutter speed. The TTC streetcar is unmistakable. Nice sky and rain reflections. One of my favorites in this challenge.

Excellent photo. I love the angles in it, and the extremely colorful lights. The somewhat-long shutter speed to blur the trolley and still make it recognizable is great, and I like the people on the other side of the street too. I wish I had places like this.
