Thanks, Jane. I didn’t add any highlights, just contrast and clarity. That’s the way they close it up at night. And the front is all windows so you get this great view.
I have no idea why I was still playing around with it when I finished the color. But when I saw it in b & w I felt the same and substituted this for the post I had scheduled.

Beautiful light, Emilio. Nice work.

LOVE this photo (and I love a bar … what can I say?)
Your view of this room and your treatment of this photo reminds me of the bar in Gunsmoke 🙂

It’s interesting that this bar reminds everyone of a western bar. Must be all the wood. Nothing wrong with a woman who loves a bar! 😉

Great image Emilio 🙂 Although I like the color versions this image is perfect for black and white. Perfect post processing, great work.

The color version is good but this is so much more atmospheric – almost expect to see John Wayne wandering in for a couple of fingers of red-eye 🙂

John Wayne might be a bit out of place in a ‘commie’ themed bar.
