I don't shoot a lot in B&W (or with it in mind) but I'm pretty happy with this one. shrug..

    Nicely done!
    Cool POV and beautiful conversion.
    Nits are the horizon dips to the right, and I prefer corrected vertical distortion - but that's just me.

    I like it! Have always liked B&W if done "correctly" and you have done a nice job with this one. I would straighten the horizon like Eric mentioned but other than that not much else needs to be done. I am curious as to how it would look if you brought the edges in top and bottom and made it more of a pano. Not that it needs it just curious. It seems to me that city skylines lend themselves to pano shots.

    Thanks much. All fair and appreciated criticism. The truth was at the time I was juuust a little out of position and the bridge left the frame out of balance (and the buildings had a LOT of bend to them). I "thought" I was on the centerline but I obviously was not. I also did NOT have my best lens for this shot either. So with too many compromises I pushed and pulled on this image in so many directions in order to get some sort of symmetry at the top that I essentially just missed the horizon. I just stared at it for too long I guess. I do like the shot but I need to go back for another crack at it I think. Still learning every day..

    Yeah, I hear you superduckz. I'll take a photo, go home and work it to death until I think it is as perfect as I can get it, then.....I'll go back to that same location and start all over again.:D
