Hi There,

Looking for some feedback on this shot I took a couple of days ago of my lovely city, from a totally different perspective. One is straight b&w and the other is toned with a sepia and selenium gradient map.

Oh, when you said "from the other side", I thought you meant you were using a Nikon.

Nice shot. I think the sepia one has a little bit of blown highlights around the area where the surf meets the shore. Otherwise both versions are very nice.

"Everything will be alright. I'm from the government and I'm here to help."
Gear: EOS 5DMKII; EOS 400D (infrared converted); Canon 24-105mm f/4 L; Sigma 17-35mm f/2.8-4 EX; Canon 70-200mm f/4 L; Canon 135mm f/2.0 L; Pentax SMC Takumar 50mm f/1.4 with EOS adaptor, Rokinon 14mm f/2.8; only enough knowledge to be a clear and present danger to society.

I thought he meant Cambridge.....

Never use a paragraph when a sentence will do.

No no, certainly not "The People's Republic of Cambridge." In which case that would be worse than using a Nikon!

Thank you--and yes, those highlights are certainly blown to smithereens. Will need to adjust those.

Strangely, but I will vote for sepia. Due to sci-fi-ish look [don't ask].

I prefer the black and white, would have cropped so that the foreground is eliminated and only the city was noticeable. Other than that great shots.
