First off, this is my first entry ever into a photo contest.
Second, I used ISO 400 on purpose for the grainy look. The more I looked at it, the more I thought that the street lights were too brightly featured. It was not cropped, just resized for the challenged and very little contrast/brightness adjustments were made.
The camera was 1" off the ground and focus locked to the distance of the #1 bullet shell.
Thank you all for your comments and for a great first entry experience!
I like the grainieness//noise. I think it adds to the whole atmosphere of this image. It reminds me a lot of a scene from CSI. This is a creative take on the challenge.
Critical comments : tthe crop is a little tight on the left and the bright lights draw your eye like a moth to a bug light.
Great composition, I liked the way you lowered your camera for the shot.
I think this was the best angle for the shot. DOF and lighting is good.
Possibly one of the top 3. 10
Nice shot. Grain is nice. I have been wondering if it would have been better without the 'horizon' line in the middle. I am not sure. the little pb on the left is dragging my eyes there. If you want the one park .. you get the thing in the upper left corner. Nice night B&W shot. 7. Lionel
