Outstanding image, great details in the buildings and love the tones. Usually a crowd of people is distracting, however in this shot they add a certain mood and effect which enhances the overall composition. Great work!
I just saw this same angle when visiting there last week…Deja Vu!
A fantastic image and the processing is incredible. Definitely one of my favorites.
A fine cityscape with all the tiny details I always like. The toning looks so good with this shot too. Very well done.
Beautiful shot!
The image looks so old… I love it! Great job!
Did you cut and paste some pics together here or am I mistaken? 🙂 I’ve only been to NYC 2 times but this indeed is weird – uptown or downtown? Love the processing. Such clarity in the buildings! This could be from some 30’s movie!
@Arjan – PlasticDaisy: a-ha! you got it! this was actually shot in disneyland, hence the weird perspective.. if you were actually standing at 23rd St & 5th ave NYC, looking up(town) you’d see chrysler & empire, while looking down(town) you’d see the flatiron building.. that’s why i called this “looking up downtown”
Cool shot regardless of where it was taken.
excellent processing and like your presentation of the street scene. those buildings look really good.
Love the processing on this shot.
Cool street photography, excellent processing my friend!
Excellent work. I was drawn into this one. It is very captivating.
Hmmm the busy atmosphere that was pleasant with BG grand architecture. Giving effect to frame that was good. Regards from Yogyakarta Indonesia.
Certainly a lot going on in there! Great work on the B&W to make it crisp and clean. Is this Wall Street? (a wild guess..)
@Liang: LOL! i guess i can pat myself on the back for fooling some of you, this is actually in disneyland.. 😉 well if this were in nyc, you’d have to be at the intersection of 23rd St & 5th avenue, then look up north (uptown) you’ll see chrysler & empire.. look down south (downtown) you’ll see the flatiron.. 😀
Ah, just seen your response which explains it all, just before I was about to write how stunning the architecture and effect is.
An excellent image, and I love your processing
lovely mood
