Lomo @ Arab Street

What do you guys think about the post processing of this picture? I am trying to post process it the lomo way. Any comments?

nice. even the usually uninteresting broken rainwater pipe could be shot at such interesting angle to make it stand out.

and of course the post-processing helps.the blue undercoat paint beneath the white plaster creates a nice contrast from the monotonous white-grey theme.

Thanks! Your comments are much appreciated! Posted for quite some time but no one commented on my photo.

Needs a sort of dream filter or something, it looks too sharp to be made from a Lomo

Supposing you want to re-enact one.

Cheap way will be to buy a cheapo filter (any sort), the cheaper and lousier the better. Breath onto the filter and fog it up, then shoot what you were planning to. This creates the dreamy / foggy effect.

I read that you could use stretched pantyhose over your lens to achieve a similar soft focus effect, though personally I've never tried it. It could be a cheaper solution than the filter.
