 I took this with my pocket camera while touring New Orleans over the holiday. Wish I had my D2Xs with me but it was cold and didn't plan to take any great pictures, just wanted to document our trip. To my surprise the French quarter was a photographers heaven! I don't expect it to do great but figure someone may enjoy it. It was amazing to watch these guys work!

I had to crop out some people and part of the building
did some pro and tonal contrast in nik at 53% opacity
patched out a sunspot resized sharpened and save for the web

I was just looking through your profile and ran upon this picture. Which is great btw! (I gave it a nine.) I knew this was NOLA immediately when I saw the pic. One of my favorite places in the whole world! I just read the "photographers comments" and smiled when I read, "To my surprise the French Quarter was a photographers heaven!" Of course it is!!!! On our last trip there my husband complined because I took my camera EVERYWHERE! He kept reminding me we were on vacation; not a photo shoot. He just didn't get it. ;-)

Nice concept, but the result is over cooked for my taste.

Nice detail and good handling of irregular light. I'm imagining it might have been stronger if taken from a little further to the right, eliminating the green leaves/red flower and making that nice wall occupy the entire background. High score anyway.

this is a very interesting image but the yellow wall does not seem to be working with the silvers and grays in on the man and ground
