Great shot, Frank. Somehow, the "Do not block intersection" sign really contributes to the image (though part of me wishes it weren't so close to the top of the frame; I'm guessing you shot this as a horizontal and cropped to square - maybe cropping a bit more off the bottom and left might help?) You're quite right to do it in color, IMHO. Remember how "The Wizard of Oz" depicted Kansas in B&W nut showed Oz in color, intending to contrast bleak reality with pretty fantasy? Now we regard color as more realistic (rightly so, I think) and B&W as more abstract. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
