New to POTN and getting back into photography after about a 35 year dormancy. I say dormancy because point shoot on a steady diet doesn't do it for me.

Got this shot as my family hurried past and left me standing. Just wish the bus was not there, but then again it is a backdrop for the trio that may have been lost in the lighting.

C&C?

Wow - 57 views and no comments. Is it that good?

Nah, that is pretty normal.


2 Samuel 9:7-8, "So David said to him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake, and will restore to you all the land of Saul your grandfather; and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” Then he bowed himself, and said, “What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?”

It's a nice shot, but just a little too underexposed.

I kind of like it being darker - it was at night. The lighting is a little yellowish also - from the theatre marquee illumination.

Underexposed and main subject is too centered. A different crop with some brightening and color balance would help.

Can you make the pollice men any brighter with masking?

I am going away for a while, but will take the suggestions in and see what they do for the shot. It will be a learning experience for me and I will try to see what I am not, but I still like the lighting (I know it's a bit dark) and think it's cropped just right - I didn't want street crowds in the shot and wanted the lights in the background also. BUT, I will try and maybe learn a thing or two. THANKS for the suggestions!!

If I remember NYC at all, it was always brighter than this shot. Whiter light, less shadows. But, I was pretty much always in the bag while downtown at night, so don't go by that. :)
