This is a night photo that I took outside the Treehouse Cafe in Collingswood, NJ. A good friend of mine used photoshop to increase saturation and reduce the noise, both of which greatly improved the photo. Thanks again Larry.

I took a look at you pic before changes. I have to say i like the first better. After your bud changed it (doesnt look bad) but to me it looked to fake. To sharp looking, hard on the eyes . I like the almost bluriness(just made up a word) of the origanal, how it seemed like it was moving, it just felt more real to me.

Hey, thanks for your comments. I appreciate your take, and I agree in some sense that the unedited photo does present more sense of movement. When the pictures are enlarged though, the blurriness is even more exagerrated, to a fault I might say, so in that case the cleaned up version, in my opinion, looks a little better. Thanks for your input though, both photos seem to have their merits (and flaws). Peace.
