I took some pictures today at lunch that I hope I'm going to really like. Buttttttt. . .I didn't have time to download them and process them tonight, so I wanted to post this one that I took a while ago because its one of my personal favorite black and whites that I've ever taken.

It's Austin -- I LOVE Austin! And the day I took this was such a special memory. It was at a get-together where me, Jutilda, Melethia, Arsenal, ArmyofnOne & Viejero hung out all day in this gorgeous city.

As you can tell. . .I really like cityscape scenes.

Very well done, Sandy! I love the textures in the water and that sharp, long DOF. You even managed to make an even blue sky interesting. Great work!

Very nice shot Sandy. Love the tones and contrasts in this composition. It is probably me or mayhap I am just staring at the tranquil waters that that these canoers are treading, but I see a slight blueish cast to the photo - not a problem if it does exist, for it adds to the peaceful serenity that is captured here with the two boaters taking a break from the hustle and bustle symbolized by the cityline in the background. The photo has some nice sharp details too. Lovely reflections in the water and the sky is just wonderful!

Wonderful composition. I think the duotone adds a lot.

Sandy, I'm glad you like cityscapes, because you sure do excel at them: lucky for us.
The raised paddle takes the eye right up into the heart of the city outline.
I'm not much of a fan of borders, but I find your choice of borders really grounds the shot and helps the dark tones in the scene pop out even more.

Well this is a very nice one! I'll have to show it to my partner, he'll probably recognize it. Can't wait to see the ones you took at lunch!

Very nice. All of your photo's are extremely clear. You have a great eye for catching shots. The processing is wonderful.

Lovely job in the processing - what a fun crew to hang out with (pardon the pun!)

You do an amazing justice to that city with you images. Spectacular. Now if you'd come to KC and make this town look as nice as yours, then I'll be doubley impressed :) I really like the border you added, and the direction of the boaters is nice.

Oh this is beautiful! I love cities too, especially ones like this that have nature right in the middle of them. Great job capturing both sides of the city.

Sandy you are just killing the 'competition' in this challenge

I cannot begin to describe the beauty of this cityscape. The sky is fanatsic and the tones and contrast simply breathtaking

Once again I am not generally a fan of borders but this works magnificently.

This could (and should) be being sold somewhere

It is a beautiful scene! Focus is just perfect, tones are wonderful and it does look like a very clean city!! Now you need to be here .. it's DERBY!!!

YEAH!!!! This is terrific. I like the hint of almost a lavender in the duotone. Beautiful crisp focus, Sandy.

Stunning image Sandy, this is so good... I can't belive you didn't post it earlier. Clarity is outstanding, I would really like to know more details about this shot. Adding to favorites.

Such beautiful clarity and sharpness.

Again, begging for shot details... This is one of the best cityscape shots I've seen on the site (and there's no shortage of them). Absolutely perfect clarity throughout the shot, great choice of subjects and excellent composition. Nothing negative to say other than why are you wasting it on dpc rather than selling it to some travel magazine!!

I like cityscapes too, especially with people! Terrific image. Once again, great tonality in the image.
