Took this shot last year on a family trip to Disney World. It was a random hallway at the Coronado Resort where we were staying for the week.

Taken with an old Canon A80...

Maybe play around with the blur/overlay process?

I love it! The only thing I'd suggest is - try taking out those downlights and see how it looks. I think they detract from the aura of the photo somewhat.

I think it's great. I'd be up for hours with this trying all kinds of different things. B&W, posterized, clone out the lights, crush the black levels, etc...

Like the FlyingPhotog said, you could take this in so many directions.

Very good image. You must try a B&W conversion and work with the light and the texture of the floor.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I worked on a b&w version, plus tried to bring a bit more detail out of the floor. I also attempted (poorly at that) to clone out the lights in the second b&w, shows I need to work on my cloning skills in photoshop.:o

I'm sorry that I wasn't clear. I mean't to work with the lighting, not the lights.

The lights that you cloned out supplied the lighting for the walls. Now the question arises, what is lighting the walls?

When you do a B&W conversion, generally you start over in the adjustment process with converting to B&W as your goal.

Remember lighting, not lights.

Do you have you colors properly corrected. If you manually correct them in curves, I think your conversion would be better.

lol...it's been a long day.

I've never done much pp b&w work, so it's a learning process for me.
