Default NYC Skyline from Subway Platform [B/W]

f/22 4" ISO 200 Nikon D40

This is one of my first shots using a tripod. A bigger version can be found here. I used photoshop to desaturate the photo, then added color to the highights and shadows. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hello Jon, and welcome to DPS. I love your shot and I love NY. Used to live there. I am too new to critique, the shot looks great to me. I hope you stay with us and share many more pictures, especially that great city. God bless. PAUL

Do you have a color version? I'm not so sure I'm feeling the sepia look on this image. Usually photographs of streaking car lights are in color because it's visually more interesting to see red lines leading into and out of the image instead of a white line that tends to blend in with everything else that is white.

Here's the color version:


higher res

The color version looks "crowded" to me. What do you think?
