Challenge: Power (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon PowerShot SD600
Location: New York, New York
Date: Sep 1, 2007
Aperture: 4.8
ISO: Auto (200-400?)
Shutter: 1/400
Galleries: Architecture
Date Uploaded: Sep 3, 2007

 I took this photo whilegiving a friend of mine a tour of the city. It was a spontanious shot that I took while on the move and didn't realize what a good shot it was until I uploaded it to my computer.

This is my first submission to DPChallenge, and even after reading the Basic Editing Rules, I was hesitant to alter my picture in any way. In hindsight, I really should have cropped the tourists out as well as shaved a little of the left to make it symmetrical (the bridge was crooked, not me ;-) ).

Thanks to the comments, I've made the photo more appealing. I sharpened it to see more detail in the cables. I've tweaked the brightness, contrast, and satruration to create more vivid colors. I also have a B&W version I now have hanging on my wall.

Good perspective. Be good if the people in the bottom weren't there.

that is so cool

Very cool! I love the precision of your composition, and all the lines of architecture. I might suggest adding a little more contrast though, and perhaps even cropping out the heads of the people below, since they are a little distracting IMO. I also wonder how this would look in black and white...? but very nice shot! :)

Strong, but not that powerful.

The heads turn an interesting photo into just a snap

Looks somewhat...iconic.

Nice architectural shot. Color seems a bit dull in front, but clouds look great in bkgrd.

nice shot, but I lowered the score as I fail to see the "power".

I would've cropped those people out. And a B&W might work too for this one.

i might have been tempted to crop off the people in this?

This doesn't say "power" to me
