Street view retouching: Any comments, or your try ?

Hello,

Here's a pic of somwhere in Paris. You can rent a bike (VELIB) there. I thought the small crowd before the ticket machine was a good subject to make the whole somewhat more surrealistic.

I did some HDR, and added a sepia filter, several layer modes, and a litle glow with RPM Beautifier filter. Finally sharpened with Hiighpassfilter (Layer mode put to Soft light) in order to prevent too much noise.

I look forward to your comments (or your try) !
