One thing I would certainly like to do again, is to walk the streets of 
Manhattan with you, Ann, talk and take pictures... Then of course a nice 
cup of tea would be nice too...

Love the geometry in this shot plus the contrast between the dark area 
to the left and the lighter building.  To my eye the B&W version works 
better - color is kind of a distraction from the main visual elements.

Well it did me when I shot it, but more the reflection of it in the 
buildings windows and the geometry - and yet I kind of just pointed up
from where I was sitting because I couldn't find anything more 
interesting and I hadn't taken any photos recently ;-)


I like the bw version better because it has an aura of being a bit
ominous and that reflects my opinion of buildings of this sort...
well at least it isn't boring

Re: Peso - Manhattan Minimalism II - the black and white version

2012-07-15 Thread Ann Sanfedele

Interesting..
I darkened the black area a bit to make sure it was totally featureless 
and black , actually.  I couldnt see any detail in it at all, although 
when I went to use the magic wand in elements apparently the program did 
as it selected two sections of the black mass.

I still can't see anything but black there in the photo as it is now.
But then, I don't have the brightness of my monitor set at 100 - because 
I can't look at it at all if I do and when the power was getting

browned out last week it flickered.  I upped it to 100 and think i see
what you mean.

If you can see that, I guess I should put it back in elements :-)
