Dog and plane

Comment by Jedusi:
I think you do these almost quirky vignettes of life so well.

Enourmous plane dominating the scene, crowds of people in front of it forming a middle layer, then a gap allowing the picture to be almost split in half and there is the little doggie on the lead giving a whole sense of scale and perspective - a wonderful juxtaposition, like your pigeon at the station. Huge man made edifaces, and nature totally unfazed by it.

I like the idea, but I'm not sure how I feel about the processing. The scene may be too busy to benefit from "find edges" processing. I do like the effect on the sign and light, even the grass and pavement, but on the finer detail of the family and the bikes, it's a bit noisy (for lack of a better word) and harder to read. Maybe if they were a bit closer in the frame.

I do like the colors (was that the filter?) and admire your adventurous sprit -- I'm just now starting to get a bit more brave in my processing. I like the message too. And, yes, (we) Americans are energy hogs.

Love this. From a dog's view point, the scene looks very unnerving, threatening even.

This is a nice long exposure, but the colors kinda dont do it for me. Try it in black and wihte. It might be more dramatic

Very serene - the composition is great, keeping the eye in the frame.

lovely scene! shadows, silhouettes, haloes, window reflections on the wall - it has it all :). Great processing, too.

Edit: forgot to mention, yes, and pigeons.

There is certainly room in this for camera aspect crop for the exceptional but awkwardly shaped b&w.
I actually like the full frame but here would be an alt crop attempt -
