The initial one looks like something shot in a back alley in Austin at dusk ( ), while the new one looks like it came from New York in the bleak shadows of early evening or something like that.

This was actually an accident: After the Burn Layer, I was going to sharpen it ( I go to the filters option, other, high pass ), but Antmeister suggested I change the blending mode to overlay so I can see what the actual picture would look like ( when sharpening through this option, I get a gray overlay and can see the outline of the image vaguely, but can't see what the picture actually looks like until I change the blending mode ). We liked the look so much we kept it.

Hope it made sense, but yeah, it does look kinda gritty huh?

Anyway, thanks for the feedback Wolfpack
