Like variations on a theme in a piece of music, some variations on an image.

The original image, Shot with Camera, processed with PerfectPhoto

I think the original image stands well on its own — no filters needed. I adjusted the color and contrast just a little bit.

I liked the lines throughout the image and how they frame little windows within it. I like how the image captures just a hint of the Art Deco of the classic building. I love the playfulness of the two signs — a smaller version of competing “Do Not Enter” signs.

Just to see how it would look, I applied several filters. I experimented. Results I like I’m sharing here. Afraid that I’d be applying filters for filters’ sake, I am surprised at how much I like how each filter changes the mood of the original image.
