Wonderful series of candid urban shots. I think your choice of B&W and sepia was the way to go, Great job :D :D I think #3 and 4 are fantastic, and #6 cracks me up what a combination "Hunters BBQ and Asian Take Away". :lol: :lol: :lol: does it get any better than that.

These are some great shots here Sean, as I saw them previously when you posted in my NYC thread. What really catches me is the toning. It just seems to give the photos more meaning. I can't really describe it much, it's certainly a good thing though. I have been trying similar toning techniques. In my opinion, the faded color adds much more than a simple B&W, setting a time period for the photo and a mood.

While I like #3 "the coy fan", I feel like you went a bit far with the sharpening. It seems a bit too sharp, especially around the right lady's right shoulder (her right), looks like it needs some antialiasing or something.

I'm going to pm you Chris;)

Thanks for the comments by the way:)


I don't know what good composition is.... Sometimes for me composition has to do with a certain brightness or a certain coming to restness and other times it has to do with funny mistakes. There's a kind of rightness and wrongness and sometimes I like rightness and sometimes I like wrongness. Diane Arbus
