Comment by Paul:
I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Larry, I like a number of elements in this image, the clarity of the signs in particular and the dominance of the Sean Combs billboard. The toning is excellent too - you have contrast in all the right places.

Critical stuff: I don't think this is as powerful as your October Free Study entry - the inclusion of the heads detracts from the image for me - I liked the other because it felt like I had just been helped to look up, to notice things.... Here I feel more like on of the masses... head forward, eyes down, move forward.

Overall: Nice, but for, it doesn't compare favourably with the other image.

We've seen it before, of course, but it's always an impressive scene with something a little different every time.

I need to learn how to get this effect. It's almost like infrared. Stunning, classic NY image.
