Nice to see how some abandoned buildings are not completely ripped and ruined. Beautiful colors and a very nice processing.

Great processing on a great image. I have 2 preferred images for the blue ribbon in this challenge and this is 1 of them.

Nice light, all details are visible in both clear and dark(er) parts. Very nice capture. My 1st of 2 preferred images for the blue ribbon.

Another Dark Tale From The Naked City...

Comment:
I'm telling you: it was not Al Bino who did it. It was Kerry Oki!
Nice set up, great lighting. Maybe a burning cigarette in the ash trey would have completed it even more, but that's a detail.

Edit: only now that mefnjhas drawn my attention to it I saw the smoke rising up.
I was so focused on all the other elements/details in this photograph, ashtray included, that I didn't notice the smoke.
I'm so so sorry mefjn.

Dober with Man

The brown in the Dob's fur and the blue eyes don't really work for me in this theme. Film Noir equals B&W, rather low-key and hard shadows to me. Face looks also a bit out of focus. The shadow on the other hand is nice.

The pearls, the make-up, even the hair-do comes right out of a film noir...

She plays her part very well :) (at least - I . hope she plays it)
One small detail on which I'm still hesitating: her right eye in the dark, as it is now, or just slightly visible...

And this is a scene from which movie? Are you sure you're not a photographer on movie sets? :)
