 Title was a no brainer for once....:) ! I was shooting at the Kater Street Garden after my voice lesson and went to catch a cab down the street. I waited and waited and none came. I turned around and saw this marvelous entrance way and made several shots of it. The whole area has a circled window surrounded by great corroded patterned stone with two, what appear to be, horn playing mermaids. The cherubs about the house number are right below. Stunning work with wonderful patina and textures.

Post: Camera Raw Adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue saturation. Slight CCW rotation to straighten. Crop for rotation. Crop in right to center and cropped again for aspect ration (1.5:1). USM and sharpen. Layer of Hue/Sat to convert to Sepia. Another layer of levels and brigtness/contrast. Decided to go with BW and did another Hue/Sat converting to grayscale. Curves adjustment. Resize. Sharpen.

I love the details, I wish we could see it from eye-level.
