Metal flake paint on velvet was popular back in the day as well. I hate to admit but I own a small picture in that medium. I even like it but it's subdued for the genre.

Pretty clear why this kind of image sells; it's very eye-catching. And
you managed to do it without that kind of "crinkly edges" look.

After producing this, do you feel dirty now? ;-)

Hence this experiment.

Pseudo-HDR treatment (it's tone mapped from a single exposure). Lots
of tweaking with masks, selective noise reduction and other tricks to
make look more like an illustration than a photograph.

Notes:

1/2-second exposure obtained without a tripod by bracing camera
against lamp post.

I love the sneakers hanging over the phone lines in the upper
left-hand corner.

"Gelateria Yogurteria Venexia" (in the center of the photo) makes the
most amazing triple-chocolate gelato in Italy.
