Bicycle Wheels Wall Hanging @ the Melt Restaurant

When my sister was here visiting this week, we went to The Melt, which is a restaurant in Golden Gate shopping center in Greensboro, NC.  Where we were seated at the bar, the lighting was not good to take pictures of my food.or beer glass.  They have some unique bramds of beer and ale which
I would call gourmet varieties. On the wall they had some bicycle wheel sculpture that caught my eye.  The personnel said it was OK to take a picture.  There are some shadows and a peach glow to the left from reflections of the sun coming from outside the front window. It was taken about 12:30 PM EDST.  I still think it is neat. It will be good to use if I ever get into the digital image textures and collages.  Camera+ app, minor edits in PSE 11.

Leather Wall Hanging - LaBamba Restaurant, State St. GSO, NC

Went out to eat at LaBamba Restaurant on State St. in Greensboro yesterday. They had changed their decor. I liked their leather wall hangings and took a few pictures of them. Did not use flash, but had incadescant room lighting. You will see some shadows. Also the leather will be lighter in some areas of the design because of the highlights. The hanging was higher than eye level and so some disortion present which I could not really correct. I used native camera app to convert to sepia (Fade filter) increased the midtones, lightened to show more detail and then sharpened. The other example with the image was to make high key.in PSE 11 which shows you more of the design and stitching.
