Top of Chrysler building shot with 300mm (480mm effective) zoom lens (on tripod) from 30th floor of building on 3rd and 40th street. I transformed the picture into grayscale in photoshop, used autolevels, then increased the contrast, while decreasing the brightness slightly. Shot at 6pm, overcast/hazy skies.

this is a great photo... I love the composition... geometric designs in photography really work well for me.. to top it off, i like black and whites as well. great shot :) = 10 - jmsetzler
this is a really cool shot. I like how it provides a unique portrayal of a well known subject. the texture is well demonstrated. the composition is very nice, and the contrast is excellent.

For those that are just learning, like me.
Composition: Scoring in this area is based on basic composition of a picture and includes the rule of thirds, balance, cropping, and curved and diagonal lines. Subject matter that does not lend itself to the picture or otherwise unwanted is also considered here.
Originality: Scoring in this area is based on pictures or concepts that I have seen, as well as how much effort you have invested in the picture. Usually a little something that sets it aside from a snapshot. Does it make me want to come back for another look? You know things like that.
Technical Aspects: Focus, exposure, lighting, and other special effects (done by the camera), and post processing are all considered in this category.
Meets Challenge: This is based on my interpretation of if you, have/have not, met the challenge. This is fairly simple but quite important for this site.
There are many sites that can give you assistance in achieving better skills in photography, but I think the best way to learn is to take pictures and show them to other people. Believe me when it is a good one you will know it.
This is a nice image but I think there is a difference between Texture and Form. All th ebuilding materials here have different texture but I can't tell what they are in this picture.
great title and texture! I'm sure you know this...but there's a dark spot in lower right corner...I also wish the contrast were spread more evenly but I'm sure you couldn't control that. 8 Lisa
