Challenge:Power (Basic Editing) Camera:Canon PowerShot SD600 Location: New York, New York Date: Sep 1, 2007 Aperture: 4.8 ISO: Auto (200-400?) Shutter: 1/400 Galleries:Architecture Date Uploaded: Sep 3, 2007
I took this photo whilegiving a friend of mine a tour of the city. It was a spontanious shot that I took while on the move and didn't realize what a good shot it was until I uploaded it to my computer.
This is my first submission to DPChallenge, and even after reading the Basic Editing Rules, I was hesitant to alter my picture in any way. In hindsight, I really should have cropped the tourists out as well as shaved a little of the left to make it symmetrical (the bridge was crooked, not me ;-) ).
Thanks to the comments, I've made the photo more appealing. I sharpened it to see more detail in the cables. I've tweaked the brightness, contrast, and satruration to create more vivid colors. I also have a B&W version I now have hanging on my wall.

Very cool! I love the precision of your composition, and all the lines of architecture. I might suggest adding a little more contrast though, and perhaps even cropping out the heads of the people below, since they are a little distracting IMO. I also wonder how this would look in black and white...? but very nice shot! :)
