Yes because the cyclist looks like she is looking back. Oh, I love this kind of photography. This one looks so artistic, like it has an acid touch to it.

Thanks to you and other fabulous photogs here, I'm beginning to appreciate my own submissions that only I "get". I happen to really love the mood here too. Very Star Trek in a Talking Heads mood.

Comment by SandyP:
Blurry. Pigeons. Umbrella. Street life, and best of all, the Melethia magic touch. All bad? Hardly. It is PERFECT!

The b/w really adds to this shot. The circular lines add interest to the rigid structure lines, and the straight line in the foreground draws the eye to the center with the pedestrian. A little overlit in the second store facade.

This looks very familiar. Have I ever been there? 8P

Great edit. PGerst is right about the textures. They blow me away.

Great shadows, too.

(I'd make a comment about the trash barrel at the end of the corridor, but I've decided it's impossible to take a shot in SB without including one of them. They seem to be evenly placed every six feet all over the city.)

Amazing shot. Probably my favourite archive challenge photo to date. I have seen images similar to this before, and really liked them. Then I look at your original, and wonder, how did you do it?!?!?

Is this possible in PS CS3?

Comment by VitaminB:
Whoa, your sharpening brought out details that simply werent there in the original. Really like the textures in this one, and the leading lines.

You did a really nice job with creating an aura of mystery (and fun!)
and it sounds as if you had a great time doing it - it certainly made me smile! so thanks for that...

Amazing amount of detail, and nice leading lines into the frame. I wish the sky were a bit more dramatic, but this is essentially an excellent shot.

I am so envious of people who live where things are this old! Very good B&W conversion here.
