This is a wonderful place to take a photo...

 

I had the pleasure of walking past there last year.

 

...what do you think of this shot?

Great shot! I took a similar one last year -- around September:

THOTH is a street performer who usually plays in Central Park, NYC.

There was actually a documentary film made of him which won an Oscar

last year.

Great photo! I love night shots, especially when it's raining out. Here are a few shots from Rome -- some taken at night:

Reed, thanks for the comments. The print itself is somewhat lighter, so you can see a little bit more of the faces of the two guys on the left. Didn't scan in all that well I guess. Was originally drawn to the graffti, which is why I wanted to take this shot. And, the guys in front added to the atmosphere.

 

Was in fact using a zoom lens, but can't remember what focal length I was at. I too think a closer look at these guys would have been interesting. Although not sure this particualr place and time was conducive to more intimate photos -- one of the guys playing cards on the right realized that I was shooting, got pissed off, and demanded my camera. Luckily his buddy calmed him down and I was allowed to leave without incident.

To Alberto's point -- it may be too dark (agreed), but that is more due to scanning it in poorly than the shot itself. The actual print is lighter. I scanned this around 2 years ago, and haven't gone back to rescan it / lighten it in Photoshop or something like that.

A nice way to cool off!

Carefree and full of fun! These kids were having a blast.

Incredible color! Bravo.

Took this shot on the fly in the back seat of a cab under the FDR

Drive. Thought this worked well with the shallow DOF -- comments?

 

As always, thanks for viewing, commenting, and / or rating.

I would have gotten a tighter shot of one or two players. Love lots of your other work!

I loved this guy's face, and had to take a photo of him. Only thing I

didn't like about the photo was that fence in the background cutting

through his head.

 

Comments / suggestions / thoughts?

 

Many thanks.

Very nice. Knew immediately where this was taken without even looking at the location box. Have a very similar shot in my phot album

My second post on photo.net! More to come...

 

This has been one of my favorite photographs from the WTC (although a

bit pedestrian perhaps -- I got the idea for the shot from an

accounting textbook cover of all places).

 

Must admit that it is a bit difficult for me to view this and the

other shots of the WTC I have from the past.

 

Comments?

Well....at least someone looked at my photo! By the way, my lens is fine and the camera is clean. Those specs are the CONFETTI !

 

Thanks for viewing though. JT

This is my first post to photo.net for critique.

 

Looking for feedback on composition, and overall aesthetic value.

 

This is a GREAT SITE!!!

 

Thanks.
