This photo creeped me out from the beginning, in a not-unpleasant way. It has been reworked using my latest "toy," TOPAZ RESTYLE. And now it looks creepier and I like it more.
-----
The shot is on Walnut Street (I think) in Philadelphia. Normally there is a constant stream of passers by but the street was rather deserted on April 16 at about 9:30 pm.
----
And I think the fact that the two humans that are prominently visible have no faces.

And yet another Christmas has passed.

This is a great street scene capture, Michelle. I sure wouldn't want to be walking down that street by myself.

  Nice street scene and great results with your new "toy". What fun it is to go back and rework older images with new toys!

  I got all kinds of feelings about this image, Michelle.

But for sure you have captured the mood of a late night walk in a semi-deserted city, maybe rushing home after doing the last Christmas shopping :)

I see, though, that it's captured in April, but it still has a Christmas feel about it.

GREAT work!!

  That's a really cool plugin!
Excellent shot and it does have the look I wouldn't walk down that street!

  It's the ambiguity that grabs one here. Eerie, yes. Menacing, only maybe. Perfectly benign, perhaps.

  I like the woman who appears to be walking into the "Time Machine".
The almost deserted street makes me think that many have preceded her
