SHADOWY

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. #1557191Jeff Robinson December 26, 2013

Nice street scene and great results with your new "toy". What fun it is to go back and rework older images with new toys! #10929535Kirsten Kiki Kjaer December 26, 2013
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!! #10929556

It's the ambiguity that grabs one here. Eerie, yes. Menacing, only maybe. Perfectly benign, perhaps. #10929684Anita Hogue December 26, 2013
