Georgia Theatre - Photoshopped!

I was in a Photoshop mood last night and decided to go crazy with it.

I didn't like this picture in its original state very much, and I don't intend to do much of this kind of thing, but this photo was just begging to be manipulated. The original was taken at night under very bad lighting conditions and there was a lot of noise in the image itself, but the focal point of the picture (the marquee) was actually pretty decent.

So, I just decided to leave the marquee in its original state and desaturate the rest of the picture. To offset some of the noise, I added a blur motion to the desaturated areas to give those areas a little more contrast with the colored, in-focus marquee.
