I discovered after the fact that there was a sweat smear on my lens causing flare. I tried to correct it with Gimp, and ended up with this antique effect that I like.

I should point out that this is one of those pictures that looks better large…

This is the back side of Notre Dame. For some reason it makes me think of a giant spider.
