    Wow, talk about attitude! Nice capture. I'm not so sure about the crop, though. Have you tried other versions? I think you could lose some from the left, say, eliminating Oregon and the traffic light pole. Or crop from the right and get rid of the trash can. The mural is kind of cool, but in B&W I'm not sure it is adding too much, especially since the coolest bit is all the way to the right of the frame. ne_nau.gif

    Thanks for the feedback. I played with it some more. Here it is with a square crop:

    Preferred?

    I think the B & W is great! Super range of tones, and nice composition!

    I agree that the crop right might be an improvement, but I think there's also another crop that's as good…

    …try slicing a piece off the left, just to the right of the x-ing signal post; OK, so you lose the girl on the left, but really she's nothing to do with the three kids at the edge of the sidewalk…

    Love the B&W!

    BTW: Is there a colour version???

    The crop looks better to me. I tried the other suggestion, eliminating Oregon and I think I prefer it. The garbage can is a better fit than she is. lol3.gif

    Thanks!

    The "brilliance" is only on the third version with the decision that the garbage can added more than the "Oregon" girl in the crop...rolleyes1.gif
