Not sure these belong in "Street", but since I kept getting stopped by Security, even though I followed all their rules (no tripod, no flash) I'm postin' 'em! Most shot ISO 1600-6400 range. Sorry about the noise. C&C welcome.

The Memorial Art Gallery, Rochester, NY.

1. Anybody else here?

    Thanks. Still working on the crop on #1. (not satisfied.) It was interesting shot because the figure wasn't there when I raised the camera to eye, literally walked into the frame, I snapped, and then the figure walked out...

    #1, less centered, trying to emphasize horizontal motion of the figure. (Now with extra Noise reduction!)

    I like the sense of depth & the single figure adds interest/balance/perspective anyway I like it :D

    Mark, I've been meaning to comment that I think this is a wonderful creative exercise. It really makes you think through what and why you would take a shot. Of the set #1 and #2 work best and the rework on #1 definitely helps.

    Thanks for the kind words.

    I also like #1 the most. I recommend taking a look at Elliot Erwitt's work 'Museum Watching' if you haven't already seen it.

    Thanks for the tip-- I'm (vaguely) familiar with Elliot Erwitt, but don't think I've seen "Museum Watching." I'll track it down and check it out. thumb.gif
