9 Mar 25 Comment Hi Randy,

It looks like the clouds were accentuated in the b&w - which is great -as the photo provides a great sense of updraft and movement against the majestic and quite unmoving ground.

Sylvia makes a great point about the trade-off between drama and welcome - a good thing to ponder!

9 Mar 25 Comment Really nice job in post - erasing the twig next to the main subject and the birch trees nicely frame the survivor! Mar 9th
9 Mar 25 Comment Interesting that your theme is "transportation" as you actually capture 4 types: bus, car, bike, foot. Nice job! Mar 9th
9 Mar 25 Comment Don't you love that we're (mostly) walking around with powerful cameras in our pockets? So cool to be able to grab images like this one. AND - I'm increasingly fascinated by monochrome photography so this is really timely.

Great eye and capture - you didn't mention any post-processing? Did you do much?

9 Mar 25 Reply I wonder that too! Sadly, I was with 2 friends and Happy Hour was calling - I had tested their patience quite a bit that day already! Mar 9th
9 Mar 25 Reply Thanks Linda!

I was cherry-picking with the crop as there was a lot of activity on river that evening. Agree that there's a LOT of sky!!

9 Mar 25 Comment The first thing I had to do was look up the details about the camera since I was intrigued by the comment about intentionality! Here's a short little YouTube about it if anyone else is interested:

Love the scene - and it's a bit jarring when you think that phone booths were ubiquitous not many years ago and now are museum pieces!

Really enjoy this photo - street photography (like other types) gives endless scenes!

9 Mar 25 Comment Stunning photo and I applaud your patience - especially in chilly, damp conditions!

I really like the larger format and while I typically opt for a tighter crop (like Jim's) the fact that the bird is looking to the right gives reasons to the space. Also accentuates that he's a lone fisher!

This one deserves wall space!
