Ha ha!! Another one from you walk on the bridge!! I would have waited just a bit to allow the sailboat to clear the cable a little more.

Hey this looks great! Only had the background had more detail and interest, this selective sturation would work better.

The coloration works very well, I only think the background's a little too busy, all them sailing boats.

If there would have been a very large sailboat inbetween the cables or some other interest would have helped or having very little background boats.

I was two days in our capital vienna and had some time to take some photos. This picture is an HDRI taken from an exposure range of three images and shows a sunset ofer the "Donauturm" (Danube Tower) and the UNO-city with the United Nations. More pictures of vienna will be published in the next days on my photoblog: photoblog.fh-forum.org/?lang=en or on my homepage leetsil.fh-forum.org (german).

Wonderful mood and great framing - where is this (morning) ?

Dawn at the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia.

I like yours too! Thanks for the comment.

Very beautiful. It would have appealed to me even more if the quays left and right weren't there. But I don't see an easy way of getting rid of them, since the left one is partly under the bridge. Cropping only the right one would not work.
Great atmosphere, the bridge seems to vanish into infinity.

Is this a silver based b&w negative?? Because ICE is know not to work at all for b&w negatives. The only b&w negatives that can be cleaned with ICE are the C-41 process, dye based negatives, I thought?? When I try to force ICE on with my Nikon Coolscan and then scan a TriX or FP4 negative the results are totally useless.

Oh yeah I didn't think about that, yeah, this isn't a real B/W negative. It's one of those Kodak fake B/W negatives which are regularly processed C-41.
Interesting that ICE doesn't work with real B/W negatives, thanks for the information.

hey die kratzer machen das bild erst toll ;) ohne siehts eher langweilig aus...

Gee, I get hammered for having *real* grain evident in scans of FP4 and HP5 and then this!! The problem (if you can call it that) is C41 b&w negs tend to have very smooth tonal range, making it very difficult to fake the vintage look. I like the perspective you have of the subject, but there are just too many inconsistencies to be convincing in a vintage sense because it is too polished (and why does a hair or some other dirt on a neg - shown as a white line - skip the dark bridge????).

Yeah I see what you mean, and I agree, but considering it's small age of 3 years I'd say this negative looks pretty vintage :)

thank you for your commments! love the lines in this one

I really like the perspective you chose for this photo! Beautiful photo!

Very nice framing and contrast. Nice shot.

This a very nice composition, great subject. I think it is a little flat, needs a little "punch" in the tonal range, imo.

I agree with Clyde. Nice composition and subject. It does need a bit of a punch in the tonal range, if possible. I would have cropped just above the bottom concrete pad. It's a little distracting to me. Purely subjective though. Well seen and captured. Concrete is hard to photograph, especially the shadows. It's hard to separate the noise from the texture sometimes.

I like the effect you created on the picture. I saw a duck!

:)

In my memory the Golden Gate Bridge wasn't more red then showed on my photo... Becouse I have an old monitor, I've visited Vazaar on my workplace and the colours are not very diffrent (and those monitors are a lot better).

Anyway, I appreciate both your comments. Thanks.

Nice contrast between the reds and blue sky, I like their tones.

@Tamara, it just probably what we are used to seeing in photos and video. Most images I've seen of this bridge were quite a bit more saturated than this. I haven't been up there is years, so my ole man memory is not very accurate either.

I like the weight and balance that you have in the composition here, Tamara. Your control over exposure is very pleasing with the sign not being blown out and the sky and very nice blue.

It seems a bit flat to me, I'd try boosting the contrast by resetting the 0/255-point in the histogram.

Very unusual and refreshing perspective for this type of scenery shot!

Beautiful picture. Where exactly is this?

Thanks Erik!
This picture was taken in Nikko, Japan. It's a little town north of Tokyo.

Thanks. Again, very nice. I went to Japan this summer, mainly around Kyoto, but I will be going back next summer and ma looking at different places to go.

Nice shot! The rhythm is nice. Once thing might not be in taste for everyone is a black sky, but I still like your citiscape a lot.

I can't decide where my eye wants to look first as there's lots going on here. I do like the rhythm as chaba mentions and does help to ground the image.

I like this quite a bit, but I would suggest either cloning out the 2 trees left of center at the bottom or maybe cropping just above them.

I like this quite a bit.
I would leave it as is as it is more appealing atypical to me!
