Pennsylvania Station (Edit)

This is more or less the same image from yesterday, but I realized that it was too dark towards the bottom, especially the man right under the flag
I pretty much used a layer mask, and used levels to lighten it up.
I then used the brush tool to fine tune the layer. the left side was with a white brush, the right side was with a neutral grey blush (111,111,111)

I walk through Penn Station everyday, and always wanted to make this shot. It took me a while to take it for several reasons:
1. It's Penn Station is always so busy, it's hard to just stand there and compose a shot without getting in the way
2. I hate feeling like a tourist (haha)
