Harlem afterhours

[Rhoads238]

Hey all,

Just got a quick photo in this evening after work.



I believe its around 130th street in Harlem. Click for full size

Let me know what you guys think,

Good stuff.

I think it needs a slight counter-clockwise rotation. Everything is leaning a bit to the right.

And ........ go straight up from that spike on top of the building towards the right-hand side - You've got a dust bunny.

Great picture, really striking colours. Other than the 2 little bits Donald has already mentioned wouldn't change a thing.

corrected.

Thanks for the feedback. I also decided to dodge the bridge some.

The images you see before and after work are usually the most impressive. Good stuff.

Jason, impressive work and I really like the sky. Very nicely done.

Very good shot Jason. Sharp, well exposed and processed with very interesting coloured light.

Really super shot, Dave. One question, though: How did you get the light rays so well defined?

As others have suggested, that is a good one. But, y'know, I think I really like (and it is only my preference) the more subtle first version. But that's small stuff. Anyway you take it, it's a very good image.

I took the shot using f14 which is what formed the stars. Then to enhance them I used the dodge tool set to highlights to brighten them.

Donald- I think I agree with you I like the rich tones in the bridge in the first one. Now I'm considering another go at it but time will tell. I seem to feel different about it every time I have a look.

Thanks everyone for the very positive feedback.

great c\scene, colours and composition Jason. For me the stars keep distracting me from the rest of the picture, so it doesn't allow me to look at the entire scene without continuing to look back at them. I often get them myself as I tend to use a small aperture at night but sometimes I edit them out. Theres so much detail to explore in this shot that it is better off without them for mine, however I think I am alone on this one. Nice shot.
