Sharpness is such a bourgeois concept: Day 2.
Jersey eyes the Big Apple. Not real happy with this one when I shot it, but I keep coming back to it and did not delete it.
Sized, levels, border.
Got a nice moodiness to it. Although I find the bit of green reflection at the bottom a distraction - maybe a slight crop to take it out? Have you tried this shot in b&w?
That's yummy. My one critique would be to rid it of the orange part of the frame. If you make it at all a diff. color, do it really thin, 1 pixel and a more muted tone. (just my opnion)
I'm glad I looked twice at this. That old street light and the setting sun juxtaposed with The Big Apple are really thought provoking. MelonMusketeer is right -- it's '50's noir in color.
With the old street lamp and pier in the foreground, it looks a bit like a 50's detective movie scene, except that it is in glorious color. I see why you like it.
