These little artistic embellishments were standard practice until the depression sent the whole industry into a nosedive.

i like the comp

This type of shot is really what I find you absolutely excel at. The composition is stunning. The colors are wonderfully balanced. The little black lines lead the eye to the number which is clearly the subject of the shot even with all the other stuffs around it. Just a great image. One of my favorites of yours for sure...

PS - The only thing I could add is to brighten the "number" side of the image a bit. But, this is only an after thought and really not that important in the overall image.

pretty interesting.

This image is a fair amount darker than the original exposure and I may have gone overboard a bit. I suppose I should learn about gradients in PS on this image since we're looking at a very gradual change from right to left.
