you captured the ever elusive cat, eye off frame says alot about cats. Nice details

I work near here. I like this shot; you've inspired me to give it a go next time I head out for lunch. I like the BW affect ... had been visualizing color here. The BW works!

No, you're right ... I shot in direct sunlight at around noon. Intense shadows.

Thanks for the comments. The most constructive comments I've recieved/observed here at photo.net are regards light. I think I've been relying too much on a 'thumbs up' from the auto exposure meter and not enough on mental assessment of conditions ... techno laziness :)

I used to shoot lots of trix B/W film with handheld external meter; it took more work to set up a shot, but having to think usually made the wait more worhtwhile ...

makes me laugh. What great expression!

Thanks.I actualy did too; I think the black frame was my own aknowledment that the shot needed something ... was wondering how others thought. Here's the link to the 'photoshopped' version for comparison. I highlighted the faces a bit by bringing out the color quite a bit...

This is a nice catch of the 'other' bridge in the SF area ... I allways think this bridge gets overlooked ... ... another poster-worthy shot!

Reminds me of a book I read once .... great composite, could see it in a poster shop ...

would like a bit less black at top

Thanks for the comment. I tried to catch the sense of a big cloud of smoke filling street lit by the morning light. The darkness is hard to control on a computer screen. It appears too light on one of my computers, too dark on another. I've been trying to set the brightness/gama, etc, but to no avail. Invariably if I PS on one, and get it just so, it looks bad on another... sigh...

thanks again.
