Awesome work. But its not Batman I would expect in the shot, but Superman in Metropolis. Look, up in the sky...

kiki, just kidding (trying to distract Rod from a dreaded conversation on the other kind of pp).
Honestly, these threads are really all I can handle.

Penny!!! My.. what? Are you fishing for an email addie? You already know half of one, the rest is the customer domain of Norway's largest commercial ISP :)

Before I even read some of the comments, Gotham City sprang to mind - maybe because we watched one of the Batman movies just a couple of weeks ago. Lots of mood and drama in this shot, Penny, with the combination of the light and shadows -and the oblique angle.

Thanks Carole and, no, I don't have any Topaz yet. (I'm not sure I can even remember what I did - well, for a price I might remember something but I'm too afraid Rod might be listening)
Thanks Helen - drama is part of my life.
Kiki!!! my pp!!!

Another interesting reflection shot Penny. Did you use Topaz Adjust for the gritty Gotham city look?

This is stunning, made all the more dramatic by the B&W.

I like it! Gotham, N.Y. Nicely composed also; top, bottom and perspective.

thanks - I'm still contemplating this one meself...

sorry, I like the processing on this. distinctive.

Between you and TV, I am starting to believe that NY has some serious glass use there. I guess stone, brick and wood are on their way out. A very 3D reflection.

Nice to see you experimenting Penny, but I can't say this processing hits on all cylinders for me either. Kind of looks like it was printed on old recycled paper...

Thanks Dougy and Daniel.
And thanks for your opinion, Rod - you're right it's high rise, not high contrast. Maybe I need to use some bleach.

It doesn't look high contrast to me as it's mostly blacks & greys with no whites.
Maybe I will have to come back to the CTF to stop you from straying from the chosen path. This isn't my cuppa tea Penny & I hope it's not yours:-)

I follow Doug here, high contrast works very well in this image. Daniel.

The high contrast b/w conversion suites the image well. This image really holds my attention. -Doug
