Just one that I liked from yesterday's walkaround the streets.
Which one goes? B&W or Colour?

C&C Welcomed!!

Is the slope down to the right intentional? I would straighten that up.

I like the colour versions, although I wonder if they might look good a little desaturated?

Looks good. I prefer the landscape orientation (portrait doesn't work for me here - too cluttered and distracting). I like the B&W, but to my eye the colour version is a bit better.

Yi-P, I not the greatest fan of B&W but the portrait version in B&W is my pick. It gives that olden feel and you have captured more interesting detail in that shot.
As mentioned previously - using the side of the door and the windows as a guide it does appear as though this is slightly off level.
Cheers, Mick :) :) :)

Thanks all for generous comments :)


I'll try to see if a more desaturated version will help, I've already desaturated it a tad bit, but maybe go a bit beyond then...


About the horizon/levels... Im aligning the door's top as straight level, its dead straight from there, but just appear that the steps/slope and windows are slightly off level... optical illusions :roll:

love the 1st one, color for sure.
The 2nd one is too distracting, the simplicity is what makes that shot.
I like the slope, it leads ur eye to the door.

Nice shot, where was it taken?

Man, the colours in the first two are great :) I prefer them to the black and white versions. As silly as it probably sounds, a landscape version of the second photo could be interesting.

Nothing much fancy really, RAW converted and then a little bit of desaturation applied. Straightened the door and a very marginal curve edit to bring shadows to live...


Nice shot, where was it taken?


Somewhere in The Rocks... address is #64 of some street there... :P
"Susannah's museum" thats the place to be exact. If you know where it is.

I like the colour versions, but for some reason I like the 2nd the best...I feel it gives the shot more context and dont feel it distracts from the overall appeal of the shot...ahh well...
