It's been a while since I've posted anything on dgrin and I'd like to get back into it.

This one is from a trip to San Francisco for Apple's WWDC. Yes, that is Powell Street.

    You need more light and pop to the picture as a whole. I say "a whole" mainly because I have no idea what your subject is....What is your subject?headscratch.gif

    I'm really going to take you at your word - This is a tourist snap shot - and a not very interesting one at that. Sorry. (You asked for it!rolleyes1.gif )

    There is a famous picture by Garry Winogrand called taxicab. When you first look at it you just see a kind of awkward picture of a couple getting out of a taxicab. You ask yourself what is this picture of? But if you look closer you see that the picture is of the pretty girl in the background walking toward you and looking straight into the camera.

    For me this picture has the same effect. You see a crowd waiting to get on the Powell St Street Car. But then you see the man in the black sunglasses staring you straight in the eye...

    I don't think the bldg distortion helps. There is a radius at the turntable (I know the spot) and I think the image needs straightening.
