    Street scene B&W

    I took this while on vacation in Maine, how does the B&W do here?

    Hi Tyson,

    I really like what you've done here. The low perspective is right on for this kinda shot. Your exposure was also right on. I wish that guy half way down the street woulda stood out a bit more, but that's out of your hands. Oh and the B&W is just fine here.

    Re: Street scene B&W

    Ha - at first I thought this photo would be of the music concert in San Diego called "street scene." I think I like your's more than potential ones from that concert though.

    This is really nice - like Liban said, the angle and perspective work well. I do like the mood of the lighting, but I think that the weak part is how dark the left side store area is. The right is fine... too bad the left isn't that well lit. Oh well. I wonder if you could bring it out in PS or another s/w program?

    Looks like a pretty tucked away place.

    I like this Tyson, I think you should clone around the edges of the street lights to get rid of the glare. With some extra PPing this one is a winner.

    Thank you all for the comments, I took this picture off the square in Old Orchard Beach Maine. I love the place.
