Hola and stuff....

Breaking out into new territory for me (well...everything
is basically new territory for meops

This was taken around 17th St. near Park Ave.

Canon 20D w/28-135.

1/60s, f/5/, ISO 200

Basic convert to greyscale with PS CS2, then just
adjusted contrast, shadow/highlights and curves.

Wouldn't mind C&C regarding composition, exposure,
processing....

Been lurking on a few forums here for the past
2 months or so....nice talent and advice...

Ciao,

Tom D

A one-legged man was raptured?

Interesting. It doesn't work for me at all.

I kinda like it, it makes me wonder where the owner is.... it looks like the shoe just came off in midstride and the person wearing it just kept on going. I can almost see the invisible man

It's interesting, and random.

the car and the manhole cover kind of ruin the isolated feel of being alone.. i wonder how it would look with them cloned out?

Thanks for the reply...

I guess its a "NY thing..."

Where the car and the manhole cover are representive of a "metropolis" so to speak...

Interesting observation and its appreciated...

hmmm... maybe it would've looked different if there was no car there.

Too much space on the bottom of the shot...maybe a horizontal would have been better. Nice capture though.

Thanks, Tom! :-) Well, it begs the questions "Where and what has happened to the owner of the shoe?"

I've been looking for that shoe, where did you find it?

just kidding, I like the sense of drama the shoe creates, makes you wonder what story lies beyond the image.

As others suggested, the extra space at the bottom needs cropped. Great Idea.
