Honestly, Larry, almost nothing done in Lr. I did a tiny bit of
mid-tone contrast with the Tone Curve (Lights -21; Darks +21), Clarity
+30 (some compensation for being soft), NR: Lum 30, Detail 69; Lens
Correction on; and that's it.

I'd say the painterly look came from a happy confluence of the light
in there which is almost all bounced off of the hanging art, the DA*
55 at f:1.4 which has a pleasant softness, plus ISO 1600 grain and a
modest amount of NR which has an overall smoothing effect.

Gotta remember that one. :-)

Thank you, Larry.

Elizabeth Martins? I haven't heard her, so that'd be a good reason to go again.

Frank, I was going to give you a heads-up but it was pretty much a
last-minute decision to go.

I'll definitely let you know next time, and it looks like that'll be
sooner than later. I just heard that they hired Elle part-time to help
during their busy times!

Yeah, the light was A Big Challenge. At least they don't gel it in there.

Thank you, Frank!

Yeah, Gallery is definitely in the 'hood. I've dropped in a few times for 
Sunday night jazz. Forget her name now but they have a wonderful singer there 
on Sundays. Never been able to get decent pix (horrible light as you know).

So let me know next time you're heading there. Love to meet you in person!

Btw, terrific shot. As I said, I know how bad the light is. You really caught 
that one!

Btw, I guess it is officially "South Etobicoke" but really it's New Toronto.

cheers,
