 The title is a music group that performs in the area.
The subject is a performance space.
This is probably not what we were looking for.
I enter it for my amusement.
A lot of weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I was happy to shoot on the way home tonight.
Next time, not the lens baby.

Post:
Camera raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0.
Crop.

Resize.
USM.

Shot sans tripod but anchored the camera on top of a cement pillar on the top level of a parking garage diagonally across from the rear of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. Anchoring in the past with a standard lens has been haphazard at best. But anchoring and adjusting the lens baby to select focus was quite daunting. Time to see about stepping up to the next level of LB.

I just got a comment from someone on one of my other current entries:
"too much of the frame out of focus for me....hard to look at"
Can't wait until he sees this one! LOL!

Neat looking abstract. This would make a pleasing desktop background.

Not sure what I am lookin at...but it is pleasing to the eye. Like the blurred effect in the top right corner.
