    All the elements in this shot are so classic. I bet those light are really old. The bw tones are well done as usual (plus I checked the histo :thumbsup: )

    Love the contrast on the clouds and vertical lines below.

    Simple but sweet photo. I like the nice dark sky.One thing I might suggest is to make the figure a little less centered (perhaps 1/3 to the left).

    Tuna,

    Again, as always, beautiful black and white as always. I love the contrasty feel and the random subject matter. Great contrast of texture too between the sky and the metal siding.

    Great shot!

    A real pleasing photo Tuna. Love the tones, composition and everything else about it. Great subject and capture, IMO.

    great shot tuna - your bw's are always the best. everythings been said. except - its 'SLIGHTLY' uneven. I really liked it at first but there was something i couldnt pinpoint that was bothering me - htats it. if you look at the lights ont he bottom they dont go in a straight line, they are at a slight angle. nonetheless - a minor gripe and an easily fixed one at that...

    Hi Tuna,
    I like the combination a lot! The cloud on the right appears to be an old man with his face upward. The small cloud near the centre appears to be a butterfly. The rocket appears to be a lizard with a big tail. Interesting!

    Thank you, folks, for your comments.

    Yoyo, if I had your special interpretational talent I may just have named this image "The Old Man, The Butterfly and The Lizard".

    Anbesol, what you are seeing is the perspective distortion caused by having taken this shot from a slight angle. Though I straightened the verticals and horizontals, I neglected to fix that - until now (though I didn't like losing that space at the bottom...).
