Doesn't look like black and white to me
11/23/2004 09:47:14 PM
should have rotated it so the buildings aren't falling.
11/23/2004 11:56:18 AM
Black and white, not red and white please :)
11/23/2004 11:22:45 AM
awww so pretty i like it
11/23/2004 11:16:58 AM
Sears Tower in the background? Sadly you are asking for trouble with those strong verticals not being vertical. I like the misty cityscape however
11/23/2004 12:35:40 AM
Ahhhh... I'm tipping over!

With that exception -- I like the shot :-)
11/22/2004 02:08:10 PM
That's sepia, not B&W
11/21/2004 09:28:02 AM
Just a bit of rotation would have helped. I like the addition of a little red to the shot.

I have seen other duotone shots in this challenge, and this is one of them. Not technically a "palette of grays" but it isn't a color shot either. It's monocrome. Now I'm in a moral dillemma over voting on this image. Ok: "Sweet shot, but the duotone will bump you down a bit. Seems tilting to the left."

Interesting concept! The photo could use a slight rotation to the right.

The image balance is good... the level does not work for me at all and distracts from what would have been an excelent entry (IMHO). Good luck!

Chicago is MY kind of town, but better suited in B&W....
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This image appears tilted 1-2 degrees counter clockwise.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

First of all, this picture isn't very visually appealing. It is actually tilted to the left. It could have more contrast and it is not Black and White, it is not even sepia, it is pinkish in my monitor.
11/18/2004 10:36:52 PM
This is black and white?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/18/2004 02:11:38 PM
tilted


villy

I see pink

Maybe it's my monitor (I doubt it cuz no one elses photo is) but this looks brown. I'm also not a fan of the 'diagonal' composition. Seems very point-and-shoot. 3

I don't think this classifies as palette of grays. A nice shot, but would have fit the challenge better without the tone.

11/17/2004 10:43:58 PM
Looks like Chicago. South side?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 09:50:18 PM
Not very B&W in my book
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 07:14:12 PM
Kinda sepia but I like the fogginess.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 06:13:49 PM
Unlevel horizon really detracts from this image. Use of Sepia has hugely improve the otherwise lack of foreground contrast though. Excellent choice. 7.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 04:28:07 PM
hmm not totally black and white
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 04:10:03 PM
I like the framing and the tint of the photo, but I think the 2 buildings in the foreground are tilting to the left
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 04:01:22 PM
This looks like a snapshot as there is no clear cut focal point---nothing that my eye immediately recognized as the subject of the iamge. This could use a contrast boost as well as a rotation make the verticals parallel. An interesting view that you should go back to to reshoot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 01:54:25 PM
A little crooked for my taste, but great subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 01:36:34 PM
Sorry I'm not sure about the toning and unfortunately the verticals are - well, not! 4
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Cool idea to use the two buildings to frame the skyline. I'd like to see more of the city and less of the sky. Perhaps either more sepia or less color; it looks like you couldn't decide which.

The tilted horizon takes away from an otherwise interesting shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 11:43:41 AM
things are tilted, very distracting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 10:34:04 AM
Nice picture but I would have rotated the picture a few grades to right.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 02:52:45 AM
The horizon seems out of alignment - it would have been good to rotate this a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 02:18:05 AM
Black and white is not brown. and also, horizon is tilted. I have to give it a 1.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 01:42:52 AM
Looks different from all other entries for this comp... :)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 12:56:27 AM
Not B&W
  Photographer found comment helpful.
11/17/2004 12:19:27 AM
I don't see black, and there is no white, and what is with all the brown stuff?
