Challenge:City Life (Classic Editing) Camera:Olympus C-2100UZ Location: New York City Date: Jun 17, 2002 Aperture: 2.8 ISO: 100 Shutter: 1/10 Date Uploaded: Jun 17, 2002
I was wondering.. what 2-way street would lead to the Empire State Building. Then I saw the green street sign... Queens of course. I should know. I grew up in Queens (Corona). After the challenge, please emai me l the exact street location. I'm guessing Woodside/Sunnyside.... maybe Skilman Ave??? sjgleah
Pretty nice shot. I see little "brackets" around the threes, building, etc. guessing this is caused by sharpening, maybe. If so, try just a little less. I have also heard that saving the original JPG to TIFF format, prior to ANY alterations, then alter the shot and resave back to JPG helps with data loss (less data loss), which might help, too.

This shot just seems pretty boring. Suggestions to make this shot better: shoot at a different time of day with more exciting lighting; shoot at a lower angle, to make it less documentary-style; stand in the middle of the road to get symmetry working for you. Your JPEG compression is also pretty bad.. save a little higher quality.
Nice shot with some strong lines. Something is missing that i can't really put my finger on. Maybe if you had waited for someone to be crossing the street? I don't know. Nice shot all in all.
This is a good showing of city life. As for the overall quality of the image, I have a few minor issues. Normally, making photographs through the window of an automobile adds some distortion to the image. I don't know if that was your intent with this photo or not. It also normally casts some unwanted reflections. Another problem with that is that it causes under exposure in some cases. The colors look flat in this photo and need a little punch to really bring the photo to life... = 6 - jmsetzler
