Hotel lobby detail shots

This was taken in the lobby of the Embassy Suites in Cleveland, Ohio.  I was up very early and was walking around the hotel and noticed many items in the lobby to shoot.  Plus, I was looking for interesting places to shoot a few group photos.

In a few hours this lobby would be filled with people talking, laughing, and children running and playing.
I have been playing with a plug-in for Photoshop, Topaz Adjust and liked its effect on this scene.

The second image is the location where I shot a few group photos.  Above this very interesting structure is a wide open sky light which provided an outdoor feel.


The forth image was taken from the third floor, immediately outside my hotel room.  I used Topaz Adjust to give the scene a 'different' artistic look.  The final image is a shot of some beautiful flowers taken outside the front door of the hotel.
As always, get out and enjoy the beauty of life!

I really like the way that Topaz looks. It gives things an artistic look that is still very pleasing. It's like HDR on a single photo. You expect it to look different, and pleasing. If you get a chance look at my first Topaz attempt on Flickr http://bit.ly/1zTBii.

Very nice. I agree, close to HDR on one image.
