Hi!

I took this shot of Times Square in the snow about two weeks ago.

Comments, criticisms and critiques are welcome, encouraged and appreciated.

    Great exposure and composition! I can only imagine the difficulty of conditions! Love the fact that ALL the details are available and in my view perfectly exposed! Most importantly we don't have to take your word for it, we can see it is snowing like crazy through out the frame, yet I can see shadows and reflection, all the way out! This is brilliant work for my money!thumb.gifthumb

    Not sure why buildings appear to slanted on right...people seem to be standing up straight!

    Was this hand held? Can you share the Exif data! Thanks!

    Just Love it. It looks like a painting.

    If only you could clone out that wire.....it would be absolutely perfect.

    Thank you, Silvio.

    The wire was there because they were starting to set up Broadway for the Superbowl festivities. Alas, my photoshop skills are not up to the task of removing it convincingly.

    Thanks! For 1.25 second exposure, people are remarkably solid! Long enough to give the frame dreamy/painting effect, yet, no blurs in terms of people movement! Liking this more and more! Cheers!

    I'm sorry... that was a typo... it should have been 1/25. Yeah, at 1.25 seconds, that would have been much different. :)

    Cool shot - I like that it looks like an illustration.

    Looking at EXIF, exposure is 1/25 sec.
    Taz, you really need to get an EXIF viewer for your browser. thumb.gif

    Thank you, Earache!

    I've corrected the original post where I made the typo.

    Hey buddy, you know what Einstein said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein. Which is why I refrain from overwhelming myself with knowledge! biggrinbounce2.gif

    Uhh.. ok. Is there an echo in here? :D
    It was just a friendly suggestion to enhance your viewing experience.

    Wow! I love this. Have you considered adjusting the converging verticals? Probably have to crop a tad though. Great shot.
