After the Show
--
This is a reworked resubmit from last September. The yellow low-light tones were cooled down somewhat and the light flares were subject to the Topaz Star plugin. The changes are subtle.
----
Last night I watched a documentary on the life and art fascination of Dr. Albert Barnes, whose amazing collection, formerly housed in an old mansion in the Philadelphia suburb of Merion, was (in May, 2012) relocated to a superb new museum in Center City. If you are in Philadelphia do NOT miss it!
----
I was surprised to learn that Barnes had grown up in the Kensington area, a blighted area that is now beginning its renaissance. It was a wild and dangerous place to grow up even in 1872.
--
This photo was shot the night of a Kensington neighborhood vigil following a warehouse conflagration in which two firefighters were lost. The scene in the photo was outside an art gallery, a block away, devoted to firefighters’ portraits.

I had to rework the description which had over-run its space.

Beautiful street scene, Michelle!! I don't recall the previous version but the light looks very cooled down and appealing...

Great evening capture, Michelle with wonderful light and tones. And I love what you've done with Topaz Star effects - they really stand out yet they are still natural. Nice work!

I like the colour tones, the flag and the human element all tied into a story.

Michelle, I am fascinated by this style of photography I suppose for its mood and spontaneity. I was struck by the graphic diagnonals and the direction that the person on the right is looking toward. But the real anchor for me is the woman on the left. The image has a solitary feeling even if there is more than one person. Ann

I love this image, Michelle. There's something about it, its naturalness and slice of real life feel, that is immensely appealing to me. (Not to mention, of course, your excellent handling of the detail work, tones, and lights.)
