I love the scene, the streaks of the traffic.

The lone figure - and the ghosts to the right - are a bit too 'lost' in the scene for my taste. But that's my taste. And, you may well be able to do some work in photoshop to make the girl with the skates 'pop' more so that she's more prominent.

I love this! The range of colors is great. I agree with B.D. try to bring out the girl with skates a little more.

About the only thing you can do is make her darker and the skates lighter. You could dodge and burn, but it is a lot less work to use overlays with everything but the girl masked out. This took me about a minute:

I'll send you the gory details by PM, since they're more appropriate for the Finishing School forum. As for the ghosts, well, you'll have to call Ghostbusters, 'cause I don't have a clue how to change that part.

Oh, and welcome to Dgrin

Great shots. I would also try to get a little more contrast(darker green) in the Ave of Americas sign, just so it is tad easier, but not to eliminate all the glow.

BTW - Did you stop by the ICP and see the exhibitions? I sw the Mexican suitcase back in October but would like to see the Wang Qingsong show.

love this shot!! in my photography class we are learning about controlling the aperture and shutter speed... so, may i ask what your shutter setting was on? hopefully my studying has done me good and you are using something close to 1sec? maybe more?

The exposure information is posted at the top margin of the image at the top of this thread.

The shutter speed was 13 seconds.

Aperture was f22
