This is the dichotomy I sorta talked about in the other shot- showing the two completely different scenes together, compressed and in opposition, works very well. Before and after, now and then.

Awesome trees, and I like the bw very much. I also really liked the presence of the person in the original.. it gives an interesting sense of scale, and a bit of a non-sequitur of sorts because of how dwarfed they are.

I like your composition and what you've done with things here. The scene itself, though, I'm not too enamored with. It seems like it's caught in a nether region between a cityscape and a landscape. To me, perhaps if the scene was more starkly contrasting between elements in the landscape it would be stronger, or more unified in concept.

I love the way this view illustrates the duality of your city's character. Perfect processing.

I think it makes the picture to have the city in the background. Ft. Worth is a unique environment the juxtaposition of old and new/ rural and urban. The vintage processing is inspired.

Yup, you got it!
