I know. I noticed that about the electric box too. Not so much the rule of thirds, but dividing the pic in half makes it more static. I can see it was a grab shot. I do really like it though. Great black and white tones and detail.

Well-titled. Life is always trying to find the niche to help it propagate and survive

Just gorgeous. Makes you remember what the skies were like before we went crazy with security and street lights.

Nice palette of colors from the reflections

The motion of the woman is counteracted by the too-balanced composition. A few seconds later or earlier with her towards the side might have improved it.

But I was trying for a natural look! guess that didn't work :)

The Roswell nuts will have a field day with this one! Very creative!

HDR

Posted this last week as an HDR (from 5 exposures). this is from just

one exposure. The HDR one is in the Hoboken and Jersey City folder in

my portfolio, side by side with this one

Would be curious which one people prefer.

Thanks. i've been having fun with HDR lately

Thanks! Would so like to go back to Greece again.

Is this at sunset? wondering if a little more warmth would improve it or not. not that it's not great as it is!

beautiful abstraction. I really have to use my tripod more!

Interesting image. Why are all the candles there? is it some sort of memorial?

I've come to use HDR almost exclusively lately because of thefrustration of inevitable contrasts with bright sky and deep shadows that eludes good exposure all together. Although using photoshop or a similar product would let you treat the sky and buildings as different layers with different exposure to balance it out.

The child just pops out of the darkness. beautiful work

Thanks. What I liked was the man's bright white suit against the somewhat muted colors. BW would lose that for me.

Thanks! This started out as color of course and the windows were almost invisible. Some Photoshop levels work made it a big difference. I was looking for a twilight zone quality.
