Central Park To West 4

The Phototron · Jan 27, 2008

1.

2.

3. There's no way I'm going to convert this to B/W.

4. Around West 4 area, I was sort of lost and made a big circle (all the way to 10th street and back).

That's it for the day, let me know what you think.

I like 1, although it is a bit busy. Still a good shot though. Nice contrast.

2 is ok, but I feel the shadow makes it kind of boring.

I love 3. The colors in the reflection and the angle are awesome.

4 is boring.

Dark areas are the only way to bring out shape and focus from 1 and 2. Number 1 doesn't have enough foliage in the mid to upper part for the white tree to stand out.

For number 2, light only hits the bridge distinctly, and I wanted to place it in Zone VIII and the rest in shadows, I didn't notice that some trees are standing out a bit. But that works for me, their gray shapes standing out against the shadow areas creates a really gloomy and haunting mood.

Last one is probably boring, but I thought there was something, probably just a small tinkle because of the way light hits the store selectively.
