CHARLOTTE DYMOCK in Trivandrum, Kerala.
In the background is the Napier Museum at Trivandrum.

This is a night vision of the museum.

Named after the governor general of Madras, John Napier, the Trivandrum Napier museum is located in the heart of the city. The museum is equipped with natural air conditioning and provides a glance of the rich historical legacy of Kerala. Napier museum and art gallery of Kerala are located in the same compound and the museum has a good collection of ancient archaeological artifacts. This museum was built in the 19th century.

The architecture of the museum building is a unique blend of traditional Kerala, Chinese, Mughal and Italian styles. Tourists are attracted to the Sri Chitra Art gallery, which showcases some of the best works of Raja Ravi Varma and Roerich amongst other noted artists. One can find paintings belonging to Rajput, Mughal and the very famous Tanjore School of Art. As they say, art knows no boundaries and we find a true example of this in the art gallery. One can find paintings from Tibet, Japan and China, thus honoring the various art forms of those countries.

I converted the original closer to B&W. To do this I played around with the Hue/Saturation and Brightness/Contrast.
I then used the Dodge Tool to lighten up the shadows in her eyes and sharpen the eyes using the Sharpen Tool.
To smoothen her skin, I used the Reduce Noise filter.

Hope you like it
